"Pray for the peace of Jerusalem" (Psalm 122:6). "The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise" (Proverbs 11:30). "I will surely gather the remnant of Israel" (Micah 2:12). "I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord… Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men… They [the shepherds] made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this Child" (Luke 2:10,11,14).
We know where
true peace proceeds from,
The peace for
which all the earth yearns.
Jerusalem's
peace shall yet come
When Jesus our
Savior returns.
In that day
shall every knee bow
To Christ, and
His praise shall not cease,
But we are sent
forth even now
To publish His Gospel
of peace!
The messengers
God will employ
Are sinners
receiving salvation
Who publish Good
Tidings of joy,
The blessing of
justification!
O Lord, as those
shepherds of old,
Who made known
the news of Your favor,
We publish the
peace You foretold
To all who
receive You as Savior.
