36. Peace, Sweet Peace

1 A wonderful gift of His love is mine,
‘Tis peace, sweet peace;
My heart doth rejoice in the gift divine,
Of peace, sweet peace.
When billows of sorrow around me roll,
He maketh the storm to cease;
He speaks ‘mid the tumult so sweet and low,
Of peace, sweet peace.

Refrain:
Peace, sweet peace,
Peace, sweet peace,
A wonderful gift of His love to me,
Is peace, sweet peace.

2 O not as the world doth He give to me,
But peace, sweet peace;
When tempted and tried, to my Lord I flee,
For peace, sweet peace.
And countless the blessings that on me fall,
My riches in Him increase;
My blessed Redeemer, my All in All,—
My peace, sweet peace. [Refrain]

3 Some day to the land of the blest I’ll rise,
In peace, sweet peace,
To dwell with my Saviour beyond the skies
In peace, sweet peace.
That rapturous moment I know will come,
My spirit shall find release,
And enter forever that blessed home
Of peace, sweet peace. [Refrain]
