Lyrics

Peace of mind and peace of soul
The world can ne­ver, ne­ver give,
Now is mine, thro’ Christ I’m whole,
And by His pre­cepts I will live.

Refrain

To Christ, the Lord, all prais­es be,
By His grace I’ve gained re­lease;
O’er sin I’ve won the vic­to­ry,
And abide in peace, sweet peace!

Peace has con­quered doubt and fear,
I ful­ly trust my Sav­ior now;
He to bless is ev­er near,
And to His will in love I bow.

Refrain

Peace is mine, what­e’er be­fall,
From world­ly strife I am se­cure;
Jesus is my all in all,
And faith­ful He will e’er en­dure.
