I Wish Thee Peace

J.Danson Smith

I wish thee peace! the Earth is full of trouble,
And days are marked by rush and strain and test;
And life grows one unceasing round and struggle;
I wish thee peace! God's peace ‑ thy heart's deep rest

I wish thee peace! the peace of sins all taken,
All cleansed away through Christ's atoning blood;
The peace that rests, untroubled and unshaken,
Since God's redeeming grace is understood.

I wish thee peace! the peace of His near presence;
The peace of glad abandon to His will;
The peace which is of God's own heart the essence;
The peace which reigns, serene and strong and still.

I wish thee peace ! peace past all understanding,
Which comes through prayer and loving God's dear Word;
So shall thy life be fruitful, strong, outstanding,
And thou shalt be of service to thy Lord
