60. Peace at last

1 Blest assurance ever dear,
As our troubles come so fast,
How it does the spirit cheer
To be promised peace at last.

Chorus:
Peace at last, peace at last,
When our sorrows all are past,
And 'tis coming, oh, how fast
Peace at last, peace at last,
Tis coming, coming,
Peace at last.

2 Tho' by sorrow's dismal cloud,
Be our pathway over cast,
Thro' the Saviour's precious blood,
We are promised peace at last. [Chorus]

3 We can stand the driving rains,
We can hide the cutting blast,
While the promise still remains,
Of unbroken peace at last. [Chorus]

4 To the kingdom of the skies,
When our pilgrimage is past,
We on spirit wings shall rise,
And abide in peace at last. [Chorus]
