Refrain: I’ll never forget it while ages roll; I’ll never forget it, sweet peace in my soul; When Jesus my Savior in quickening power; Brought life and salvation, and saved me that hour. 2 Though lightnings flash and thunders roll, This peace abides within my soul; And though the world rejects me still His perfect love my heart doth fill. [Refrain] 3 Though clouds may dark and heavy be, But still by faith my Lord I see; Through sorrows deep or swelling flood I rest secure beneath the blood.
