I’ve Reached the Port of Peace

Tho’ stor­my gales sweep o’er life’s seas

Tho’ break­ers all around may be

Praise God

no harm can come to me

I’ve reached the port of peace.

I’ve reached the port of peace

Such great abid­ing peace;

Tho’ storms may sweep life’s migh­ty deep

I’ve reached the port of peace.

Of judg­ment long I stood in awe

Its ter­rors on­ly I fore­saw

But

since I’ve learned to love God’s law

I’ve reached the port of peace.

Now let the days be what they will

I hear that whis­per

Peace

be still;

Safe an­chored here

I fear no ill

I’ve reached the port of peace.

The world may smile

the world may frown

May lift me up or cast me down;

I know my bark

it can­not drown

I’ve reached the port of peace.

And when I reach the oth­er side

And on those pla­cid wa­ters glide

I’ll find

just o’er life’s surg­ing tide

Eternal ports of peace.
