There comes to my heart one sweet strain, . . A glad and a joyous refrain, . . I sing it again and again, Sweet peace, the gift of God's love.
Peace, peace, sweet peace, Wonderful gift from above ; . . Oh, wonderful, wonderful peace, Sweet peace, the gift of God's love.
2. Through Christ on the cross peace was made, . . My debt by His death was all paid, . . No other foundation is laid For peace, the gift of God's love.
3. When Jesus as Lord I had crown'd, . . My heart with His peace did abound, . . In Him a rich blessing I found, Sweet peace, the gift of God's love.
4. In Jesus at peace I abide, . . And while I keep close to His side, . . There's nothing but peace can betide, Sweet peace, the gift of God's love.
