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.

Perfect, yet it floweth
Fuller every day,
Perfect, yet it groweth
Deeper all the way.
Stayed upon Christ Jesus,
Hearts are fully blest;
Finding, as He promised,
Perfect peace and rest.
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.

Not a surge of worry,
Not a shade of care,
Not a blast of hurry

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.

When the tune and lyrics and the subject matter are all in perfect harmony, how can one not be blessed? As this hymn focuses upon one of God's commands to pray without ceasing, the love we have for Jehovah (Christ Jesus) is shown only in our obedience to His Word.
I also grew up singing it "Stayed upon Jehovah..." One of my very favorite hymns.
Original was: 'Stayed upon Jehovah, hearts are fully blest'

I have always heard it sung "staid upon Golgotha hearts are fully blessed..." but why i love this song is for all the beautiful promises, and truths of God's character
