1 The peace of God protects our hearts
Against the tempter’s fiery darts;
It is as sure when darkness falls
As when the golden morning calls.
2 This is the peace our Savior wrought
When on the cross the foe He fought;
And when to heav'n He upward soared
His peace He left us in His Word.
3 His word of peace new strength imparts
Each day to faint and troubled hearts,
And in the cup and at the font
It satisfies our deepest want.
4 This blessed peace our Lord will give
To all who in the Spirit live;
Yea, even at their parting breath
They peacefully await their death.
5 But know, ye people of the Lord,
That only this can help afford:
That hearts believe to righteousness
And tongues the word of peace confess.
6 For when the Lord our peace had won,
He asked for faith, and faith alone.
By faith, and not our merits vain,
We grace and peace from God obtain.
7 Peace be with thee, the Savior saith
In answer to our word of faith;
Whoso has faith, he shall have peace
And live in joy that ne'er shall cease.
