“My peace I give unto you.” John 14. 27; Eph. 2. 14

1 O my soul, with wonder tell,
  Jesus has done all things well;
  And, through his atoning blood,
  I’ve a settled peace with God.

2 He bequeathed his peace to me,
  As a gift divinely free;
  And it is his righteous will,
  That my soul in peace shall dwell.

3 [Love to such vile worms as I,
  Brought the Saviour from the sky;
  Every foe for them to quell,
  Jesus conquered death and hell.]

4 [Gifts like this, so full and free,
  Stand as firm as Deity;
  God has sworn, nor can he lie,
  It shall last eternally.]

5 Justice, mercy, truth, and love,
  Every attribute of God,
  Join to make this peace secure,
  And it must and shall endure.

6 What a solid basis this!
  Such a peace can never miss,
  But produce a grateful mind,
  To a God so vastly kind.

7 [Mourning souls who feel the smart
  Of a guilty, treacherous heart,
  And with mighty care and pain,
  Struggle hard relief to gain;

8 Labour hard you may, and long,
  But you’ll find your foes too strong;
  Solid peace can ne’er be had,
  Only through a Saviour’s blood.]

9 Jesus, mighty Prince of Peace,
  Now proclaim a full release;
  Set poor captive sinners free;
  Give them solid peace in thee.
