Since I was a little boy, this song has always been my driving force that stimulate my spiritual life. It is the source of my joy; this song has dramatically change my life and personal relationship with God.
"What a wonderful salvation
Where we always see His face!
What a perfect habitation!
What a quiet resting place!"
Lord may I always see Your face! Keep me in the index of Your eyes! The only real rest is when we are in Him, basking in His love...regardless if our life is going well or in shambles outwardly, He is our rest! Thank You Lord Jesus!!!

Week of destruction and frustrated by situation. At a prayer meeting, a lady sing this song...suddenly my heart feel the calmest and peace. The blessed quietness as the song in my heart no language can describe & tell.

I like this song since I was in grade 8. Our school choir use to sing it many times at the morning devotion and it take only a few days to know it. It's always a joy to listen and sing it.

Just in the morning I have arrived at my work station. Being July it's cold with a breeze of wind then I had a song in my soul which I learned when I was in high school and the calmness that I used to enjoy. I couldn't avoid but to read through the message and sing through the soft and calm hymn. How sweet to enjoy such blessed quietness........
Mobile, Alabama
I learned this song when I joined church at nine years old. When I am the only person still singing the 3rd verse, my daughters ask me "How do you remember those verses? I told them that I guess they are planted in my soul!!

Manie Payne, born in Carlow, Ireland, was a Christian, but she did not know peace. She struggled with her sinful nature until she began to experience the fullness of the Holy Spirit. This is the "blessed quietness" that she wrote about. Once that occurred, she was so happy she could hardly contain herself. Indeed, joy was flowing like a river in her life.
Later she married T. P. Ferguson and founded Peniel Missions, with branches in Egypt, China, and the west coast of the United States. - Great Songs of Faith by Brown & Norton

Serving God in quietness is wonderful, yes what a quiet place to be in HIM! AMEN. May He grant us the priviledge of serving Him in this dying world.
I thought it was very beautiful I am on this piece in my 8th grade grammer and I thought it was magnificent!

Studying the book of Acts currently and couldn't resist the conclusion of this hymn writer about how blessed it is, how sweet and peaceful to have the rushing move of the Spirit in someone's life even in the midst of the story seas. That phrase most especially is what I think many Christians do not understand. I pray that I would.
