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.
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.
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.
Now free access to the Father,
Through the Christ of God, we have;
By the Spirit here abiding,
Promise of the Father's love.
Jesus, Savior, we adore Thee!
Christ of God, -Anointed Son;
We confess Thee, Lord of glory,
Fruits of vict'ry Thou hast won!
In the sacrifices in the beginning of Leviticus, we have, in type: Christ in His devotedness unto death, burnt-offering; Christ in the perfection of His life of consecration to God, meat-offering; Christ the basis of the communion of the people with God, who feeds, as it were, at the same table with them, peace-offering; and finally, Christ made sin for those who stood in need of it, and bearing their sins in His own body on the tree, sin-offering.
