A Mind at Perfect Peace

A mind at per­fect peace with God

Oh! what a word is this!

A sin­ner re­con­ciled through blood;

This

this in­deed is peace!

By na­ture and by prac­tice far

How ve­ry far from God!

Yet now by grace brought nigh to Him

Through faith in Je­sus’ blood.

So near

so ve­ry near to God

I can­not near­er be;

Yet in the per­son of His Son

I am as near as He.

So dear

so ve­ry dear to God

More dear I can­not be;

The love where with He loves the Son:

Such is His love to me!

Why should I ev­er care­ful be

Since such a God is mine?

He watch­es o’er me night and day

And tells me Mine is thine.
