124. Peace Like a River

1 O, peace like a river is flowing today,
For Jesus hath given me rest,
At Calvary’s cross were my sins put away,
As far as the east from the west.

Refrain:
O peace like a river is flowing now,
For low at the foot of the cross I bow,
And deeper and deeper its currents roll,
Since Jesus spoke peace to my soul.

2 There’s peace like a river, because He is near;
No trial, but Jesus will share;
His wonderful love brings me comfort and cheer;
On Him, will I cast every care. [Refrain]

3 There’s peace like a river, because He knows best
When sunshine or cloud I may need;
I’m safe, when I lean on His merciful breast,
To mansions of light, He will lead. [Refrain]
