8206. I've Reached The Port Of Peace

1 Though stormy gales sweep o’er life’s seas,
Tho’ breakers all around may be,
Praise God, no harm can come to me,
I’ve reached the port of peace.

Refrain:
I’ve reached the port of peace,
Such great abiding peace;
Tho’ storms may sweep life’s mighty deep,
I’ve reached the port of peace.

2 Of judgment long I stood in awe,
Its terrors only I foresaw,
But, since I’ve learned to love God’s law,
I’ve reached the port of peace. [Refrain]

3 Now let the days be what they will,
I hear that whisper, Peace, be still;
Safe anchored here, I fear no ill,
I’ve reached the port of peace. [Refrain]

4 The world may smile, the world may frown,
May lift me up or cast me down;
I know my bark, it cannot drown,
I’ve reached the port of peace. [Refrain]

5 And when I reach the other side,
And on those placid waters glide,
I’ll find, just o’er life’s surging tide,
Eternal ports of peace. [Refrain]
