1 ‘Tis good to have the peace of God To keep and guard the heart; ‘Tis best to have the God of peace, To dwell with Him apart.
Refrain: A bright and blessed hope is ours, To cheer us on our way; But ever now the God of hope Is with us all the day.
2 ‘Tis sweet to know the love of God Doth for our need provide; But best to feel the God of love I sever at our side. [Refrain]
3 ‘Tis good to taste and grace of God, Which brings salvation near, But oh! to know the God of grace Is with us even here. [Refrain]
4 It is Himself, and not His gifts That are so passing sweet; The secret of all blessedness Is found at His dear feet. [Refrain]Source: Northfield Hymnal No. 2 #353
