Songs of Praise and Salvation ‎#61

61. I Have Peace, Sweet Peace

1 Like oil upon the troubled sea,
To lull its waves to rest,
So came the peace of God to me,
His comfort to my breast.

Refrain:
I have peace, sweet peace,
I have peace, sweet peace,
Since Jesus my life doth control.
A holy calm, abiding peace,
Sweet peace, down deep in my soul.

2 A peace that knows no ebb and flow,
But deep, unbroken calm;
Since Christ, the Prince of Peace I know,
And his alone I am. [Refrain]

3 How precious is this wondrous peace,
Which as a river flows,
When tempests beat and storms increase,
My peace still deeper grows. [Refrain]

4 Then, if my way be rough and steep,
I’ll trust, nor be afraid;
For God will keep in perfect peace
Whose heart on him is stayed. [Refrain]
