Peace to My Soul

O Jesus, my Savior,
All glory to Thee;
Sweet peace in believing
Thou givest to me.

Refrain

Peace, peace to my soul
Flows like a beautiful river;
Peace, hallowed and pure,
Constant abiding forever.

What heights of enjoyment,
What rapture is mine;
While faithfully trusting
Thy promise divine.

Refrain

Should sorrow o’ertake me,
Thy Word is my stay;
Should trials befall me
Thou guidest my way.

Refrain

O loving Redeemer,
Whatever Thy will,
In tempests or sunshine,
I’ll follow Thee still.

Refrain
