Welcome to [Bm] Musical Memories.
I'm Martha Garver and I'm so glad you're listening today.
I hope you've listened for the last two times that we've been together.
Remember we're doing the [Fm] alphabet of gospel songs.
What shall we do [D#m] with a cue?
I looked in a lot of [F#] indexes.
Now you're going to have to bear with me on this one.
[G#]
Blessed is an adjective, [C] but quietness is in the title.
So, [F] blessed [C#] quietness.
That's our cue.
[F#]
[C#] Joy [G#]
[C#] are flowing like [F#] a river.
Since the Comforter has [G#] come,
[C#] He abides with [F#] us forever.
[F#] Makes the [E] trusting heart [C#] His home.
Blessed quietness, holy [F#] quietness,
Such [C#] assurance [A#m] fills my [G#]
soul.
[C#] On the stormy [F] sea, [F#] Jesus speaks to me,
[C#] And the billows cease to roll.
Blessed [F#] quietness.
[C#] [A#m] [G#]
[C#] Like the rain that [F#] falls from heaven,
[C#] Like the sunlight from [A#] the [Fm] sky.
[C#] So the Holy Ghost [F#] is given,
[C#] Coming on us from on high.
Blessed quietness, [F#] holy quietness,
[C#] Such assurance [A#m] fills my soul.
[C#] On the stormy sea, [F#] Jesus speaks to me,
[C#] And the billows cease to roll.
I have to tell you something about when this song was written.
[F#] And I know I'm talking too much, but I have to tell you this.
[C#] I just love it.
I just think that's such a beautiful melody.
[F#] I think it was a Quaker song.
[C] Quakers.
You know, they didn't usually, even [C#m] now, no musical instruments.
[Fm] And this was written [A#m] when the Quakers began to think church got too loud.
[A#] The services were getting too loud.
They had pianos, they had organs, they had [A#m] various things.
And then people were shouting, [Fm] and they didn't think that was right.
And so they wrote,
[C#] Blessed quietness, holy [F#]
quietness,
Such [C#] assurance in [A#m] my [G#]
soul.
[C#] On the stormy sea, [F#] Jesus speaks to me,
[C#] And the billows cease to roll.
[F#] I do like the melody, don't [C#] you?
[A#m] [G#] [C#]
Most people don't know the circumstances of when it was written.
[A#] But I just find it amusing, and [C] you know how I love to share things with you.
