1 There is peace, sweet peace for the Christian;
There is joy which the world cannot give;
There is hope, blessed hope in believing,
Tho' we die, yet thro' Christ we shall live.

Chorus:
O, there's peace, there is joy,
While we wait for Christ to come again.
With God's Spirit we are fill'd,
While we do as he has willed,
And sweet peace, joy, and hope remain.

2 We may have dark clouds of affliction;
Still we rest on God's promise and sing;
For a night tho' your eyes cease not weeping,
Joy and gladness the morning shall bring. [Chorus]

3 Before us, our Saviour was hated;
By his death all our debts he did pay;
Hence, God rais'd him to life and to honor,
And his saints he will crown in his day. [Chorus]
