Peace, Peace Is Mine

Verse 1

God’s almighty arms are round me; Peace, peace is mine! Judgment scenes need not confound me: Peace, peace is mine! Jesus came Himself and sought me; Sold to Death, He found and bought me; Then my blessed freedom taught me— Peace, peace is mine!

Verse 2

While I hear life’s rugged billows, Peace, peace is mine! Why suspend my harp on willows? Peace, peace is mine! I may sing, with Christ beside me, Though a thousand ills betide me: Safely He hath sworn to guide me: Peace, peace is mine!

Verse 3

Ev’ry trial draws Him nearer, Peace, peace is mine! All His strokes but make Him dearer: Peace, peace is mine! Bless I then the hand that smiteth Gently, and to heal delighteth; ‘Tis against my sins He fighteth: Peace, peace is mine!

Verse 4

Welcome ev’ry rising sunlight, Peace, peace is mine! Nearer home each rolling midnight: Peace, peace is mine! Death and hell cannot appal me; Safe in Christ whate’er befall me; Calmly wait till He call me: Peace, peace is mine!
