LyicsWHILE I hear life's surging billows,
Peace, peace is mine;
Why suspend my harp on willows?
Peace, peace is mine.
I may sing with Christ beside me,
Though a thousand ills betide me;
Safely he has sworn to guide me-
Peace, peace is mine.
Every trial draws me nearer-
Peace, peace is mine;
All his strokes but make him dearer-
Peace, peace is mine.
Bless I then the hand that smiteth
Gently, and to heal delighteth;
'Tis against my sins he fighteth-
Peace, peace is mine.
