76. Peace, Peace Is Mine

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!

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!

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!

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!
