“Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”
John 14:27 (C.M.)
How blest are they who know their Lord
In sweet Redemptive grace,
When love and mercy in concord
Remove our sad disgrace.
How far away our soul can be
From God who loved so much
And wander far and cannot see,
The dismal end of such.
That silent visit to the heart
Displays the sinner’s plight.
That birth anew that set apart
The soul to see this light.
These beams of grace from that great Throne
Bring life into the dead.
The Spirit in response alone
To Him, of life the bread.
The Bread of life is Christ alone,
Who gives what satisfies,
We look at Him who did atone
And heard the sinner’s cries.
There is a peace the Saviour gives
To every anxious heart.
A peace that fills the soul, which lies
In Thee, no more to part.
This peace of God alone has power,
Keeps heart and mind so calm.
This peace of God alone has power
To shed on me His balm.
