5694. Peace to Soothe Our Bitter Woes

1. Peace to soothe our bitter woes
God in Christ on us bestows;
Jesus bought our peace with God
With His holy, precious blood;
Peace in Him for sinners found
Is the Gospel’s joyful sound.

2. Peace to us the Church doth tell,
’Tis her welcome and farewell;
Peace was our baptismal dower,
Peace shall bless our dying hour;
Peace be with you, full and free,
Now and through eternity.
