Peace Will I Give unto You

Fresh as the dew­drops fall­ing

After the heat of day

Sweet as the per­fume ris­ing

Up from the new-mown hay

So to the ach­ing spir­it

Bidding its sor­row cease

Cometh the un­seen Pre­sence

Bearing the gift of peace.

Peace will I give

peace will I give

Free as the dewd­rops fall­ing

Jesus His peace will give.

Peace like the calm of ev­en­ing

Crowned by the sun­set glow

Peace like a migh­ty riv­er

Moving in cease­less flow;

Peace which shall pass all know­ledge

Peace none may ev­er win

Until the heart is rea­dy

For Christ to en­ter in.

Come

then

O pre­cious Sav­ior

Great peace Thy pre­sence brings

Lifting the heart each mo­ment

Over all earth­ly things;

Giving a glimpse of Eden

Spirit of God

O come

Guiding thro’ life’s deep sha­dows

Lighting our jour­ney home.
