1 I've surely found the Prince of Peace,
Within my soul He dwells,
And in my heart once faint and dry,
The living water wells.

Refrain:
The Prince of Peace has come,
I shall no longer roam;
To God I have been reconciled,
The Prince of Peace has come.

2 The world no more disturbs my soul,
Death no more fills with fear,
I have no reason for alarm,
The Prince of Peace is near. [Refrain]

3 I've surely found the Prince of Peace,
And O what joy He gives!
You never know true peace or joy
Till Christ within you lives. [Refrain]

4 He gives true peace to ev'ry one
Who on His name believes,
And if we ask and Him obey,
His Spirit, too, He gives. [Refrain]

5 Have you received the Prince of Peace?
To ransom you He died;
None can eternal joy bestow,
But Jesus crucified. [Refrain]
