There’s a song my heart is singing,
Thro’ my soul the sweet tones thrill;
To my life true joy ’tis bringing,
In the sweet words, Peace, be still.

Refrain

O my heart is softly singing!
Unto Him my soul is clinging,
Sweetest peace His words are bringing,
When He whispers, Peace, be still.

Sailing over life’s rough ocean,
Raging winds the canvas fill;
But above the storm’s commotion,
Comes the whisper, Peace, be still.

Refrain

So my life is filled with gladness,
And my heart bows to His will;
Lighter trial, pain and sadness,
When He whispers, Peace, be still.

Refrain

When I cross death’s surging river,
And its waves my heart would chill,
With new life my soul shall quiver,
As He whispers, Peace, be still.
