The Lutheran Hymnary ‎#49

49. Peace, to soothe our bitter woes

1 Peace, to soothe our bitter woes,
God in Christ on us bestows;
Jesus bought our peace with God
With His holy, precious blood;
Peace in Him for sinners found,
Is the gospel's joyful sound.

2 Peace to us the Church doth tell,
'Tis her welcome and farewell:
Peace was our baptismal dower,
Peace shall bless our dying hour;
Peace be with you, full and free,
Now and through eternity.
