Oh, the peace that comes from Jesus,
Oh, the peace that’s always new,
Blessèd peace that lasteth ever
Will He gladly give to you.
Refrain
Oh, the peace, the peace of Jesus,
Wonderful it is to be
Calmly kept amid the billows
Of life’s wild and restless sea.
Oh, the peace that I have tasted
Since my Savior spoke to me;
Bidding my poor anxious spirit
Trust in Him who calmed the sea.
Refrain
Oh, the riches of this treasure
I have found alone in Him;
And His peace within is dwelling,
Since He cleansed me from all sin.
Refrain
Now this peace to all is offered,
By a Savior from above,
And in mercy He will pardon
Every creature of His love.
Refrain
