Author: P. P. B. Hymnal: Triumphant Songs No.5 #12 (1896) First Line: There comes to my heart one sweet strain Refrain First Line: Peace, peace, sweet peace Lyrics: 1 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.
2 By 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. [Refrain]
3 When Jesus as Lord I had crown’d,
My heart with this peace did abound,
In Him a rich blessing I found,
Sweet peace, the gift of God’s love. [Refrain]
4 In Jesus for peace I abide,
And as I keep close to His side,
There’s nothing but peace can betide,
Sweet peace, the gift of God’s love. [Refrain] Tune Title: [There comes to my heart one sweet strain]
Sweet Peace, the Gift of God's Love
