“This man shall be the peace.” Mic. 5. 5; Eph. 2. 14
1
Peace by his cross has Jesus made;
 
The church’s everlasting Head
 
O’er hell and sin has victory won,
2
When o’er thy head the billows roll,
 
And shades of sin obscure thy soul;
 
When thou canst no deliverance see,
 
Yet still this Man thy Peace shall be.
3
In tribulation’s thorny maze,
 
Or on the mount of sovereign grace,
 
Or in the fire, or through the sea,
 
This glorious Man thy Peace shall be.
4
Yea, when thy eye of faith is dim,
 
Rest thou on Jesus, sink or swim,
 
And at his footstool bow the knee,
 
For Israel’s God thy Peace shall be.
