Your 2 minute "Hidden Gem" Music Break: Blessed Quietness

I had never ever heard this hymn before I went down a rabbit hole looking for hymns to celebrate the Baptism of the Lord. The moment I saw the title I was intrigued (it's actually better known under another title, "Joys Are Flowing Like A River"). And then when I plunked out the notes to hear the melody, I was delighted. It is so charming and rousing! It's still new-to-me, but I think this is a good start for sharing this gorgeous gem. Lots of imagery of water!

We survived the first few days on online learning, and although I needed a coffee today (and a break from hearing my name every 2 minutes), it went quite well!

1 Joys are flowing like a river,
Since the Comforter has come;
He abides with us forever,
Makes the trusting heart His home.

Refrain:
Blessed quietness, Holy quietness,
Blest assurance in my soul;
On the stormy sea, Jesus speaks to me,
And the billows cease to roll.

2 Like the rain that falls from heaven,
Like the sunlight from the sky,
So the Holy Spirit's given,
Coming on us from on high. [Refrain]

3 What a wonderful salvation,
When we always see His face,
What a perfect habitation,
What a quiet resting place. [Refrain]
