A Song in the Night.
God’s almighty arms are round me ;1
Peace, peace is mine !2
Judgement scenes need not confound me ;3
Peace, peace is mine !4
Jesus came Himself and sought me,5
Sold to death, He found, and bought me,6
Then my blessed freedom taught me7
Peace, peace is mine !8
While I hear life’s surgy billows,9
Peace, peace is mine !10
Why suspend my harp on willows ?11
Peace, peace is mine !12
I may sing with Christ beside me,13
Though a thousand ills betide me ;14
Safely He hath sworn to guide me,15
Peace, peace is mine !16
Every trial draws Him nearer ;17
Peace, peace is mine !18
All His strokes but make Him dearer ;19
Peace, peace is mine !20
Bless I then the Hand that smiteth21
Gently, and to heal delighteth ;22
’Tis against my sins He fighteth ;23
Peace, peace is mine !24
Welcome every rising sunlight ;25
Peace, peace is mine !26
Nearer home each rolling midnight ;27
Peace, peace is mine !28
Death and hell can not appal me ;29
Safe in Christ, whate’er befall me,30
Calmly wait till He call me :31
Peace, peace is mine !32
