"Deceit is in the heart of them that imagine evil: but to the counselors of peace is joy" (Proverbs 12:20). "I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth" (3 John 1:4).
The counselors of peace have joy;
Their joy is justified
When Gospel truth will thus destroy
Deceitfulness and pride.
The counselors of peace thus share
The angels' joy above
When sinners turn in their despair
To find the Savior's love.
The counselors of peace are sent
With precious Gospel seed
To call the sinner to repent,
And by the truth be freed.
The counselors of peace on earth
No greater joy will know,
Than when the truth imparts new birth,
And children thereby grow.
