We bless Thee for Thy peace, O God, Deep as the unfathomed sea, Which falls like sunshine on the road Of those who trust in Thee.
2. We ask not, Father, for repose Which comes from outward rest, If we may have thro' all life's woes Thy peace within our breast.
3. That peace which suffers and is strong, Trusts where it cannot see, Deems not the trial way too long, But leaves the end with Thee.
4. That peace which flows serene and A river in the soul [deep, Whose banks a living verdure keep---- God's sunshine o'er the whole.
5. O Father, give our hearts this peace, Whate'er the outward be, Till all life's discipline shall cease, And we go home to Thee.
