Lyrics

There’s a peace in my heart
That the world ne­ver gave,
A peace it can­not take away;
Though the tri­als of life
May sur­round like a cloud,
I’ve a peace that has come here to stay!

Refrain

Constantly abid­ing, Je­sus is mine;
Constantly abid­ing, rap­ture di­vine;
He ne­ver leaves me lone­ly,
Whispers, O so kind:
I will ne­ver leave thee, Je­sus is mine.

All the world seemed to sing
Of a Sav­ior and king,
When peace sweet­ly came to my heart;
Troubles all fled away
And my night turned to day,
Blessèd Je­sus, how glo­ri­ous Thou art!

Refrain

This trea­sure I have
In a tem­ple of clay,
While here on His foot­stool I roam;
But He’s com­ing to take
Me some glo­ri­ous day,
Over there to my hea­ven­ly home!
