Tune: | [Tho' stormy gales sweep o'er life's sea] |
Arranger: | I. Newton Hugg, M. D. |
1 Tho' stormy gales sweep o'er life's sea,
Tho' breakers all around may be,
Praise God, no harm can come to me,
I've reached the port of peace.
Chorus:
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. [Chorus]
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. [Chorus]
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. [Chorus]
