It was a time of sweet­est peace,
When Je­sus came to my re­lease;
Saved me from sin and dark des­pair,
And wrote my name on pag­es fair.

Refrain

I’ll ne­ver for­get it while ag­es roll;
I’ll ne­ver for­get it, sweet peace in my soul;
When Je­sus my Sav­ior in quick­en­ing pow­er;
Brought life and sal­va­tion, and saved me that hour.

Though light­nings flash and thun­ders roll,
This peace abides with­in my soul;
And though the world re­jects me still
His per­fect love my heart doth fill.

Refrain

Though clouds may dark and hea­vy be,
But still by faith my Lord I see;
Through sor­rows deep or swell­ing flood
I rest se­cure be­neath the blood.

Refrain

Then let me lean on Je­sus’ breast,
Amid the tem­pest let me rest;
While cling­ing to His pre­cious arm,
He’ll shield my soul from ev­ery harm.
