Author: E. E. Hewitt Hymnal: Songs of Sovereign Grace #194b (1897) Lyrics: 1 Calmly leaning on my Saviour, I have peace, sweet peace, Resting in the Father’s favor, I have peace, sweet peace, Tho’ the storm-waves roll around me, Naught of terror shall confound me, While these arms of might surround me, I have peace, sweet peace. 2 Finding truest rest when weary, I have peace, sweet peace, Joy, when elsewhere all is dreary, I have peace, sweet peace, Here the happy secret knowing, Secret of the Lord’s own showing. Grace for grace, His love bestowing, I have peace, sweet peace. 3 Heart to heart in full communion, I have peace, sweet peace, What can break this blood-sealed union? I have peace, sweet peace, All my wants to Him confiding, In His blest pavilion hiding, In His changeless love abiding, I have peace, sweet peace. 4 Learning more and more of Jesus, I have peace, sweet peace, Of His saving power that frees us, I have peace, sweet peace, Humbly now His grace confessing, His own promised gift possessing, To His name be endless blessing, I have peace, sweet peace.
