A mind at perfect peace with God

A mind at perfect peace with God;

O 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 nigh

so very nigh to God

I cannot nearer be;

For 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 wherewith He loves the Son

Such is His love to me.

Why should I ever anxious be

Since such a God is mine?

He watches o’er me night and day

And tells me “Mine is thine.”
