122. Divine Peace

1 Peace upon peace, like wave on wave,
This is the portion that I crave,--
The peace of God, which passeth thought,
The peace of Christ, which changeth not.

Refrain:
O King of peace, this peace bestow
Upon my heart where'er I go!
O God of peace this peace, this peace impart to ev'ry troubled trembling heart.

2 Peace like the river's gentle flow,
Peace like the morning's silent glow,
From day to day, in love supplied,
An endless and unebbing tide. [Refrain]

3 Peace flowing on, without decrease,
From him who is our joy and peace,
Who, by his reconciling blood,
Hath made the sinner's peace with God. [Refrain]

4 Peace thro' the night and thro' the day,
Peace thro' all windings of our way,
In pain and toil and weariness,
A deep and everlasting peace. [Refrain]
