Perfect Peace

Apache Lake Arizona

You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you!
         Isaiah 26:3 (NLT)

Yesterday in church we sang this beautiful hymn - one of my favorites which I haven't heard for a long time.  A great reminder that if we trust him fully, nothing that comes into our lives can disquiet us.  What a perfect peace!

                   Like a River Glorious

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.

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.

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

Lyrics:  Frances R. Havergal (1836-1879)
Music: James Mountain

 There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy place where the Most High dwells.
Psalms 46:4 (NIV)
