17. Sweet Peace Is My Portion

1 Sweet peace is my portion, my gift from above,
Sweet peace in my Saviour, receiving his love
He died to redeem me, he liveth on high,
And graciously saves me, as moments pass by.

Refrain:
Peace, peace, looking above,
Peace, peace, trusting his love,
Peace, peace, nothing can harm,
Leaning on his bosom,
And resting on his arm.

2 I’m trusting his keeping, on life’s checkered road,
I praise him for blessing so freely bestowed;
In faith, pure and childlike, still may I abide,
And find, as I journey, sweet peace at his side. [Refrain]

3 All praise, blessed Saviour, all praise to thy grace,
My Light in the darkness, my Strength in the race;
With joyful thanksgiving thy promise I see,
“All things work together for good” unto me. [Refrain]
