Refrain: Peace will I give, peace will I give, Free as the dewdrops falling, Jesus His peace will give. 2 Peace like the calm of evening Crowned by the sunset glow, Peace like a mighty river Moving in ceaseless flow; Peace which shall pass all knowledge Peace none may ever win Until the heart is ready For Christ to enter in. [Refrain] 3 Come, then, O precious Savior, Great peace Thy presence brings, Lifting the heart each moment Over all earthly things; Giving a glimpse of Eden, Spirit of God, O come, Guiding thro’ life’s deep shadows, Lighting our journey home.
