Resting in God’s Peace

lyricist: Thomas Magee, 1915
Composer: James Black

My soul is rest­ing in God’s peace

Without a doubt or fear;

The bois­ter­ous waves of trou­ble cease

For Christ

my Lord

is near.

Resting

rest­ing

Resting in God’s sweet peace;

Resting

rest­ing

I’m rest­ing in God’s sweet peace.

The Spir­it pour­eth from on high

A sanc­ti­fy­ing tide

And bath­ing in its streams of joy

My soul is sa­tis­fied.

My hand in His

I will not fear

How fierce may be the storm;

I’m shel­tered in His love each day

And kept from all alarm.

He drives my ev­ery doubt away

He gives me child­like faith;

And so I take the yea or nay

Just as my Fa­ther sa­ith.
