Lyrics

O Je­sus, my Sav­ior,
All glo­ry to Thee;
Sweet peace in be­liev­ing
Thou givest to me.

Refrain

Peace, peace to my soul
Flows like a beau­ti­ful ri­ver;
Peace, hal­lowed and pure,
Constant abid­ing for­ev­er.

What heights of en­joy­ment,
What rap­ture is mine;
While faith­ful­ly trust­ing
Thy pro­mise di­vine.

Refrain

Should sor­row o’er­take me,
Thy Word is my stay;
Should tri­als be­fall me
Thou guid­est my way.

Refrain

O lov­ing Re­deem­er,
Whatever Thy will,
In tem­pests or sun­shine,
I’ll follow Thee still.
