Like a River Glorious
words by Frances Ridley Havergal, music by James Mountain

Verse 1:

F      C7/F  F  F2/A   Bb/C     C7      F
Like a river glorious, is God's perfect peace,

F    C7/F   F  Dm7    C/G    Dm7/G    C7sus  C7
Over all victo-rious, in its bright increase;

F               Bb  F/A  C7/G   F/A   Gm7/C  C  C/Bb
Perfect, yet it floweth, fuller every day,

F/A      A7     Dm  G/B  F/C    Csus  C7  F
Perfect, yet it groweth, deeper all   the way.


Refrain:

F             Bb   F/A    C7/G       F/A   Gm7     C  C/Bb
Stayed upon Jeho - vah *, hearts are fully blessed

F/A      A7    Dm  G/B    F/C     Csus  C7  F
Finding, as He pro-mised, perfect peace and rest.

* newer version begins with "Trusting in Jehovah..."


Verse 2:

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.

Verse 3:

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.
