Sweet Peace, The Gift Of God’s Love

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.
CHORUS Peace, peace, sweet peace! Wonderful gift from above! Oh, wonderful, wonderful peace! Sweet peace, the gift of God’s love!
Through 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,
There’s nothing but peace doth betide, Sweet peace, the gift of God’s love. — Peter P. Bilhorn (1865–1936)

Give unto the LORD, O you mighty ones,
Give unto the LORD glory and strength.
Give unto the LORD the glory due to His name;
Worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness …

The LORD sat enthroned at the Flood,
And the LORD sits as King forever.
The LORD will give strength to His people;
The LORD will bless His people with peace. —Psalm 29:1-2,10-11 NKJV
