69*. Oh! the Peace Forever Flowing

8,7.
by A.P. Cecil
1
Oh! the peace forever flowing
 
From God’s thoughts of His own Son,
 
Oh, the peace of simply knowing
 
On the cross that all was done.
“And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” (Matthew 3:17)
“When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.” (John 19:30)
2
Peace with God, the blood in heaven
 
Speaks of pardon now to me:
 
Peace with God! the Lord is risen!
 
Righteousness now counts me free.
“Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.” (Romans 5:1)
“Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon.” (Luke 24:34)
3
Peace with God — is Christ in glory,
 
God is just and God is love;
 
Jesus died to tell the story,
 
Foes to bring to God above.
4
Now free access to the Father,
 
Through the Christ of God we have;
 
By the Spirit here abiding,
 
Promise of the Father’s love.
5
Jesus, Savior, we adore Thee!
 
Christ of God — anointed Son;
 
We confess Thee, Lord of glory,
 
Fruits of victory Thou hast won!
