PEACE

O for a heart 
in perfect Peace

Compassion filled 
and care released

When facing fear 
by faith assured

To follow Him 
whose joy endured

O for a heart 
fully at rest

Secure in Him 
who know what’s best

To turn into 
the raging storm

Embracing trials 
where faith is born

O for a heart 
content and still

By trust in Him 
whose perfect will

The instrument 
of pain will use

To crush His’ sons – 
by men’s hands bruise

O for a heart 
when that will receive

Whatever helps 
men to believe

Be it painful trial 
or bruising rod

So long as men 
are brought to God

Am

"I have pain; but I have peace,
 I have peace."

 ~ Richard Baxter
