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.
