GRH 409 Jesus Gives Me Peace

(1)
For my faith destitute.
More than I can bear!
Think of Christ born so poor.
Why should I despair?
Jesus gives me peace,
Jesus gives me peace,
Peace that Jesus gives me
The world has not giv’n.
Man cannot Take away,
‘Tis the peace of heav’n.

(2)
For the Truth sacrifice.
More than I can bear!
Think of Christ crown of thorns.
Why should I despair?
Jesus gives me peace,
Jesus gives me peace,
Peace that Jesus gives me
The world has not giv’n.
Man cannot Take away,
‘Tis the peace of heav’n.

(3)
For ‘Good News’ hardships more;
More than I can bear!
Think of Christ scorned of men.
Why should I despair?
Jesus gives me peace,
Jesus gives me peace,
Peace that Jesus gives me
The world has not giv’n.
Man cannot Take away,
‘Tis the peace of heav’n.

(4)
For the church oft maligned.
More than I can bear!
Think of Christ on the cross.
Why should I despair?
Jesus gives me peace,
Jesus gives me peace,
Peace that Jesus gives me
The world has not giv’n.
Man cannot Take away,
‘Tis the peace of heav’n.
