Lyrics

Peace like a river is flooding my soul,
Since Christ, my Savior, maketh me whole;
Sweet peace abiding my portion shall be—
Jesus, my Savior, is precious to me.

Refrain

Precious to me, precious is He;
Jesus shall ever be precious to me.

Joy is abounding—my heart gaily sings,
Cleave I the heavens—mount up on wings;
Christ hath exalted—my soul He set free—
Jesus, my Savior, is precious to me.

Refrain

Oh precious Jesus, how lovely Thou art!
Come and abiding, rule in my heart;
Break every fetter—Thy face let me see,
Then Thou shalt ever be precious to me.
