The blood of Jesus whispers peace within. 2 Peace, perfect peace, by thronging duties pressed? To do the will of Jesus, this is rest. 3 Peace, perfect peace, with sorrows surging round? On Jesus' bosom naught but calm is found. 4 Peace, perfect peace, with loved ones far away? In Jesus' keeping we are safe and they. 5 Peace, perfect peace, our future all unknown? Jesus we know, and he is on the throne. 6 Peace, perfect peace, death shad'wing us and ours?

Draw Near and Take the Body of Your Lord

Author: John M. Neale, 1818-1866 Meter: 10.10 Appears in 118 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Draw near and take the body of your Lord, And drink with faith the blood for you out-poured. 2 Saved by his body hallowed by his blood, With souls refreshed we give our thanks to God. 3 Salvation's giver, Christ, the only Son, By his dear cross and blood the vict'ry won. 4 He--ransomer from death, and light from shade-- Now gives his holy grace his saints to aid. 5 Let us approach with faithful hearts sincere, And take the pledges of salvation here. 6 The Lord in this world rules his saints, and shields, To all believers life eternal yields: 7 With heavenly bread makes those who hunger whole, Gives living waters to the thirsting soul. 8 Before your presence, Lord,all people bow. In this your feast of love be with us now.
