God speaks and all is peace, from war the nations cease; the Lord of hosts is nigh. Our father's God Most High is our eternal dwelling. 3 Behold what God has done on earth; his wrath brings desolation. His grace, commanding wars to cease, brings peace in ev'ry nation. Be still, for he is Lord, by all the earth adored; the Lord of hosts is nigh. Our father's God Most High is our strong habitation.

Christ is near with his cheer; never will he leave me. Who can rob me of the heaven that God's Son for my own to my faith hath given? 2 God oft gives me days of gladness; shall I grieve if he give seasons, too, of sadness? God is good and tempers ever all my ill, and he will wholly leave me never. 3 Death cannot destroy forever; from our fears, cares, and tears it will us deliver. It will close life's mournful story; make a way that we may enter heav'nly glory. 4 Lord, my Shepherd, take me to thee. Thou art mine; I was thine, even ere I knew thee. I am thine, for thou hast bought me; lost I stood, but thy blood free salvation brought me. 5 Thou art mine; I love and own thee. Light of joy, ne'er shall I from my heart dethrone thee. Savior, let me soon behold thee face to face; may thy grace evermore enfold me.
