There comes to my heart a 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!
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.
When Jesus as Lord I had owned,
My heart with His peace did abound;
In Him a rich blessing I found,
Sweet peace, the gift of God's love.
In Jesus for peace I abide,
And as I keep close to His side,
There's nothing but peace doth betide,
Sweet peace, the gift of God's love.
