There is a joy for souls distressed,
A balm for every wounded breast,--
'Tis found alone in heaven.

By sin and sorrow driven,
When tossed on life's tempestuous shoals,
Where storms arise and ocean rolls,
And all is drear but heaven.

To brighter prospects given,
And views the tempest passing by,
The evening shadows quickly fly,
And all serene in heaven.
4 There fragrant flowers immortal bloom,
And joys supreme are given;
There rays divine disperse the gloom;
Beyond the confines of the tomb
Appears the dawn of heaven. Topics: Heaven; The Peaceful Hour

the name to sinners giv'n;
it scatters all their guilty fear,
it turns their hell to heaven,

and bruises Satan's head;
pow'r into strengthless souls he speaks,
and life into the dead,
and life into the dead.

the riches of his grace!
The arms of love that compass me,
hold all the human race,
hold all the human race.
5 His only righteousness I show,
his saving truth proclaim;
'tis all my business here below
