O the Peace

Representative Text

1 O the peace that comes from Jesus,
O the peace that’s always new,
Blessed peace that lasteth ever,
Will he gladly give to you.

Refrain:
O the peace, the peace of Jesus,
Wonderful it is to be
Calmly kept amid the billows
Of life’s wild and restless sea.

2 O the peace that I have tasted,
Since my Saviour spoke to me;
Bidding my poor anxious spirit,
Trust in Him who calmed the sea. [Refrain]

3 O the riches of this treasure,
I have found alone in Him;
And His peace within is dwelling,
Since he cleansed me from all sin. [Refrain]

4 Now, this peace to all is offered,
By a Saviour from above,
And in mercy He will pardon,
Ev’ry creature of his love. [Refrain]
