The Finest of the Wheat No. 3 ‎#29

29. Haven of Peace

1 Out of the reach of storm,
Bideth a haven fair;
Nothing but perfect peace
Ever may enter there.

Refrain:
Haven of peace eternal,
Haven so calm and blest;
After life’s changeful voyage,
Safely in thee we’ll rest.

2 Out of the reach of care,
Bideth a place of rest;
Burdens are all laid down,
Yonder, how blest! how blest! [Refrain]

3 Brightly a light doth shine
Over life’s stormy sea,
Guiding the pilgrim on
Into eternity. [Refrain]

4 Beautiful haven calm,
Restful and holy place;
Heaven, divinely fair,
Home of the “saved by grace.” [Refrain]
