Author: Anne S. Murphy Hymnal: Hymns for the Living Church #406 (1974) Meter: 12.8.12.9 with refrain First Line: There's a peace in my heart that the world never gave Refrain First Line: Constantly abiding, Jesus is mine Lyrics: 1 There’s a peace in my heart that the world never gave,
A peace it cannot take away;
Tho' the trials of life may surround like a cloud,
I’ve a peace that has come there to stay!
Refrain:
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.
2 All the world seemed to sing of a Savior 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! (Refrain)
3 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! (Refrain) Topics: Peace Spiritual; Witness, Hymns of Scripture: John 14:27 Languages: English Tune Title: CONSTANTLY ABIDING
There's a Peace in My Heart
