Like a River Glorious

Written by Francis R. Havergal, Like a river glorious calls us to remember the rest we find in the Lord God.

Like a River Glorious

Frances R. Havergal lived in the mid 1800’s, she didn’t have a long life but she filled it with poetry and music. She grew up in England, losing her mother at age 11.  Her father remarried and her step-mom strongly encouraged Frances to have faith in God. She wrote a number of hymns and a couple of books of poetry and devotions.  She was a smart child who took well to languages and memorized the New Testament and various other sections of the bible.  She suffered from poor health, but lived a peaceful life with her poetry and music. After her death a book for children was published. S.

Like a river glorious is God’s perfect peace,
Over all victorious, in its bright increase;
Perfect, yet it floweth fuller every day,
Perfect, yet it groweth deeper all the way.

Refrain:
Stayed upon Jehovah, hearts are fully blest
Finding, as He promised, perfect peace and rest.

Hidden in the hollow of His blessed hand,
Never foe can follow, never traitor stand;
Not a surge of worry, not a shade of care,
Not a blast of hurry touch the spirit there.

Every joy or trial falleth from above,
Traced upon our dial by the Sun of Love;
We may trust Him fully, all for us to do;
They who trust Him wholly find Him wholly true.

Burden
Rinse, Repeat
