12. Sweet Peace, the Gift of God's Love

1 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.

Chorus:
Peace, peace, sweet peace!
Wonderful gift from above!
Oh, wonderful, wonderful peace!
Sweet peace, the gift of God's love!

2 By 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. [Chorus]

3 When Jesus as Lord I had crowned,
My heart with this peace did abound,
In him the rich blessing I found,
Sweet peace, the gift of God's love. [Chorus]

4 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. [Chorus]
