[Verse 1]
A C7 D
Joys are flowing like a river,
A E
Since the Comforter has come.
A C7 D
He abides with us for-ever,
A E7 A
Makes the trusting heart His home.
[Chorus]
A D
Blessed quietness! Holy quietness!
A E
What as-surance in my soul!
A D
On the stormy sea Jesus speaks to me,
A E7 A
And the billows cease to roll.
[Verse 2]
A C7 D
Bringing life and health and gladness,
A E
All a-round, this heav'n-ly Guest.
A C7 D
Banished unbelief and sadness;
A E7 A
And we just o-bey and rest.
[Chorus]
A D
Blessed quietness! Holy quietness!
A E
What as-surance in my soul!
A D
On the stormy sea Jesus speaks to me,
A E7 A
And the billows cease to roll.
[Verse 3]
A C7 D
Like the rain that falls from heaven,
A E
Like the sunlight from the sky,
A C7 D
So the Holy Ghost is given,
A E7 A
Coming on us from on high.
[Chorus]
A D
Blessed quietness! Holy quietness!
A E
What as-surance in my soul!
A D
On the stormy sea Jesus speaks to me,
A E7 A
And the billows cease to roll.
[Verse 4]
A C7 D
See, a fruitful field is growing,
A E
Blessed fruit of righ-teous-ness;
A C7 D
And the streams of life are flowing,
A E7 A
In the lonely wilder-ness.
[Chorus]
A D
Blessed quietness! Holy quietness!
A E
What as-surance in my soul!
A D
On the stormy sea Jesus speaks to me,
A E7 A
And the billows cease to roll.
[Verse 5]
A C7 D
What a wonder-ful sal-vation,
A E
Where we always see His face!
A C7 D
What a peaceful hab -i- tation!
A E7 A
What a quiet resting place!
[Chorus]
A D
Blessed quietness! Holy quietness!
A E
What as-surance in my soul!
A D
On the stormy sea Jesus speaks to me,
A E7 A
And the billows cease to roll.
