    Blessed Quietness

    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,
      What assurance in my soul!
      On the stormy sea, He speaks peace to me,
      How the billows cease to roll!

      Bringing life and health and gladness,
      All around this heav’nly Guest,
      Banished unbelief and sadness,
      Changed our weariness to rest.

      Refrain

      Like the rain that falls from Heaven,
      Like the sunlight from the sky,
      So the Holy Ghost is given,
      Coming on us from on high.

      Refrain

      See, a fruitful field is growing,
      Blessed fruit of righteousness;
      And the streams of life are flowing
      In the lonely wilderness.

      Refrain

      What a wonderful salvation,
      Where we always see His face!
      What a perfect habitation,
      What a quiet resting place!

      Refrain

  • Tentatively giving this a try...

    With Joe's blessing I am going to attempt to keep this blog. My previous post has been edited to reflect this. Over the next few weeks I will be moving old posts back and getting settled in here. Some future posts may not be viewable except by my Xanga friends. We are praying and considering how this might work. Thank you all for your messages and prayers during this season!

  • There are going to be some changes

    I wanted to leave those of you who know me from various online groups with an explanation of sorts why I am no longer frequently posting. There are some things going on in our life right now that can't be shared. I will not be active on any of the forums I have frequented and I will not be active on Facebook.

    I pray that this season is temporary. Meanwhile I will still be blogging.
