Author: Frances Abernathy Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #10314 First Line: He was despised, was poor, and an outcast Refrain First Line: Peace I give unto thee, My peace I leave with thee Lyrics: 1 He was despisèd, was poor, and an outcast; He had no riches to leave to His own; And yet He bequeathed us a priceless possession, Gift that all mortals are yearning to own. Refrain: Peace I give unto thee, My peace I leave with thee; Not as the world, give I unto thee; O priceless legacy! That there should be for thee Peace overflowing thy soul. 2 Is your back bending ’neath poverty’s burden? Christ’s precious gift means so much more than wealth; If you are afflicted with sickness and suffering, List to His promise—it giveth you health. [Refrain] 3 Freely to all is this legacy given, All may find peace, tho’ the care-billows roll; How freely it’s offered! The only condition, God must be given His way with your soul.
