Sweet peace, the gift of God’s love

Words & Music: Peter P. Bilhorn (v.4 alt. R.Mc.)

There comes to my heart one sweet strain,

A glad and a joyous refrain,

I sing it again and again,

Sweet peace, the gift of God’s love.

Refrain:

Peace, peace, sweet peace,

Wonderful gift from above,

Oh, wonderful, wonderful peace,

Sweet peace, the gift of God’s love.

Thru Christ on the cross peace was made,

My debt by His death was all paid,

No other foundation is laid.

For peace, the gift of God’s love.

When Jesus as Lord I had crowned,

My heart with this peace did abound,

In Him the rich blessing I found,

Sweet peace, the gift of God’s love.

In Jesus for peace I abide,

And as I keep close to His side,

His peace in abundance supplied;

Sweet peace, the gift of God’s love.
