there’s a peace in

There’s a peace in my heart that the world never gave,

a peace it can not take away;

though the trials of life may surround like a cloud,

I’ve a peace that has come there to stay.




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 Saviour and King,

when peace sweetly came to my heart;

troubles all fled away and my night turned to day,

blessed Jesus, how glorious Thou art!




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!
