Peculiar Peace

"Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid" (John 14:27).

The world cannot give the peace
That Jesus Christ imparts.
Its fragile calm will surely cease
Whenever trouble starts.

Peace from God does not depend
On vain prosperity.
It rests on Christ, our dearest Friend,
For all eternity.

Let not your heart be troubled then;
You do not need to fear.
Return now to your rest again;
That's all I need to hear.
