Sacred Songs and Solos Lyrics
Hymn No.655

First Line: God's almighty arms are round me,

God's almighty arms are round me:
Peace, peace is mine !
Judgment scenes need not confound me:
Peace, peace is mine !
Jesus came Himself and sought me ;
Sold to Death, He found and bought me ;
Then my blessed freedom taught me---
Peace, peace is mine!

2 While I hear life's rugged 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 hath sworn to guide me :
Peace, peace is mine !

3 Every trial draws Him 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 !

4 Welcome every rising sunlight,
Peace, peace is mine !
Nearer home each rolling midnight :
Peace, peace is mine !
Death and hell cannot appal me ;
Safe in Christ whate'er befal me ;
Calmly wait I till He call me :
Peace, peace is mine !
