212   SWEET PEACE




[V1]


There comes to my heart one sweet strain
(sweet strain)
A glad and a joyous refrain (refrain),
I sing it again and again,
Sweet peace, the gift of God’s love.

[C]
Peace, peace, sweet, peace,
Wonderful gift from above, (above)
Oh, wonderful, wonderful peace,
Sweet peace the gift of God’s love.

[V2]
Through Christ on the cross peace was made,
(was made)
My debt by His death was all paid,
No other foundation is laid,
For peace, the gift of God’s love.

[C]
Peace, peace, sweet, peace,
Wonderful gift from above, (above)
Oh, wonderful, wonderful peace,
Sweet peace the gift of God’s love.

[V3]
When Jesus as Lord I had crowned (had crowned),
My heart with His peace did abound (abound)
In Him the rich blessing I found,
Sweet peace, the gift of God’s love.

[C]
Peace, peace, sweet, peace,
Wonderful gift from above, (above)
Oh, wonderful, wonderful peace,
Sweet peace the gift of God’s love.

[V4]
In Jesus for peace I abide, (abide)
And as I keep close to His side (His side)
There’s nothing but peace doth betide,
Sweet peace, the gift of God’s love.

[C]
Peace, peace, sweet, peace,
Wonderful gift from above, (above)
Oh, wonderful, wonderful peace,
Sweet peace the gift of God’s love.
