Hymn 196 SWEET PEACE Lyrics

1. There comes to my heart one sweet
strain (sweet strain).
A glad and a joyous Chorus (Chorus);
I sing it again and again,
Sweet peace, the gift of God’s love

Chorus:
Peace, Peace, sweet peace!
Wonderful gift above (above)!
Oh, wondegil, wonderful peace!
Sweet peace, the gin of God’s love!

2. Through Christ on the cross peace was made (was made),
My debt by His death was all paid (all paid),
No other foundation is laid.
For peace, the gift of God’s love.

3. When Jesus as Lord I had crowned (had crowned),
My heart with this peace did abound (abound);
In Him the rich blessing 1 found,
Sweet peace, the gift of God’s love.

4. In Jesus for peace I abide (abide).
And as I keep close to His side (His side).
There’s nothing but peace doth betide,
Sweet peace, the gift of God’s love.
