10137. Oh, The Peace Forever Flowing

1 Oh, the peace forever flowing
From God’s thoughts of His own Son!
Oh, the peace of simply knowing
On the cross that all was done!

2 Peace with God! the blood in Heaven
Speaks of pardon now to me:
Peace with God! the Lord is risen!
Righteousness now counts me free.

3 Peace with God is Christ in glory;
God is just, and God is love;
Jesus died to tell the story,
Foes to bring to God above.

4 Now, free access to the Father,
Through the Christ of God, we have;
By the Spirit here abiding,
Promise of the Father’s love.

5 Jesus, Savior, we adore Thee!
Christ of God, anointed Son!
We confess Thee, Lord of glory,
Fruits of victory Thou hast won!
