Oh! the peace forever flowing
From God’s thoughts of His own Son;
Oh, the peace of simply knowing
On the cross that all was done.
Peace with God, the blood in heaven
Speaks of pardon now to me:
Peace with God! The Lord is risen!
Righteousness now counts me free.
Peace with God is Christ in glory;
God is just and God is love;
Jesus died to tell the story,
Foes to bring to God above.
Now free access to the Father,
Through the Christ of God we have;
By the Spirit here abiding,
Promise of the Father’s love.
Jesus, Saviour, we adore Thee!
Christ of God — anointed Son;
We confess Thee, Lord of glory,
Fruits of victory Thou hast won!
