Peace, Peace Is Mine

lyricist: Joseph Smith, 1887
Composer: James McGranahan

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 bless­èd free­dom taught me

Peace

peace is mine.

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

Tho’ a thou­sand ills betide me;

Safely He hath sworn to guide me

Peace

peace is mine.

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.

Welcome ev­ery ris­ing sun­light

Peace

peace is mine;

Nearer home each roll­ing mid­night

Peace

peace is mine.

Death and hell can­not ap­pall me;

Safe in Christ what­e’er be­fall me;

Calmly wait I

till He call me

Peace

peace is mine.
