Peace, by his cross, hath Jesus made,
The church's everlasting head.
O'er hell and sin, hath victory won,
And with a shout to glory gone.
Then why, dejected saint, dost thou
Thy sorrows nurse, thy head thus bow?
Eternal truth declares to thee
This glorious Man thy peace shall be.
When o'er thy head the billows roll,
And shades of sin obscure thy soul;
When thou canst no deliverance see,
Yet still this Man thy peace shall be.
In tribulation's thorny maze,
Or on the mount of sovereign grace,
Or in the fire, or through the sea,
This glorious Man thy peace shall be.
Yea, when thine eye of faith is dim,
Rest thou thy all alone on him:
And at his footstool bow the knee,
And Israel's God thy peace shall be.
