Like a river glorious
Is God’s perfect peace,
Over all victorious,
In its bright increase;
Perfect, yet it floweth
Fuller ev’ry day;
Perfect, yet it groweth
Deeper all the way.
Stayed upon Jehovah,
Hearts are fully blest −
Finding as He promised,
Perfect peace and rest.
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.
Refrain
Ev’ry 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 - เพลง
"Like a River Glorious" was written by Frances R. Havergal in 1876. While vacationing in the south of Wales, Frances caught a sever cold and suffered inflammation of the lungs. Told she might die, her response was:"If I am really going, it is too good to be true." Her friends were amazed at how peacefully she faced the prospect of dying. That same year, she wrote this hymn. Several years later, while meeting some boys to talk with them about the Lord, she ran into cold, wet weather and became chilled. As her fever grew worse, her family became alarmed. It gradually became apparent that Frances, 42 was dying. On Whitsunday, as one of her doctors left the room, he said, "Goodbye, I shall not s again."
"Then you really think I am going? asked Frances. "Yes." "Today?" "Probably." "Beautiful," said Frances. "Too good to be true." Soon afterward she looked up smiling and, "Splendid to be so near the gates of heaven!" She asked her brother to sing some hymns to her, then he said to her"You have talked and written a great deal about the King, and you will soon see Him in His beauty." A little while later she whispered, 'Come, Lord Jesus, come and fetch me."
A terrible rush of convulsions came, and the nurse gently laid her back on her pillows. "She looked up steadfastly, as if she saw the Lord. He countenance was so glad, it was if she glowed." .She passed away in 1879 at 42 years of age.
"Like a River Glorious," has always been one of my very favorite hymns since I was a very young girl and played it on the piano many times with other hymns and classical music.
Peace be to her memory.
