Lyrics

When earth­ly cares and sor­rows roll
Like ocean’s bil­lows o’er my soul,
No tem­pest can my bark con­trol,
If Thou wilt on­ly bring peace to my soul.

Refrain

Bring peace to my soul to­day (to­day),
Bring peace (sweet peace) to­day (to­day);
Bring peace to my soul to­day, to­day,
Bring peace to my soul to­day.

I need Thee, oh I need Thee so,
To help me as I on­ward go;
Sin’s ar­rows can­not lay me low,
If Thou wilt on­ly bring peace to my soul.

Refrain

No cloud can hide from me Thy face,
No storm de­prive me of Thy grace,
No sin with­in my heart have place,
If Thou wilt on­ly bring peace to my soul.

Refrain

In joy or sor­row still be near,
To drive away my ev­ery fear;
Earth’s chang­es can­not harm me here,
If Thou wilt on­ly bring peace to my soul.
