1
"Behold the Lamb" enthroned on high — 
 
"He is our peace";
 
In Him we are to God brought nigh — 
 
"He is our peace."
 
He who on Calvary’s cross has bled — 
 
He who was numbered with the dead — 
 
Exalted now o’er all as Head,
 
"He is our peace."
2
"Complete in Him" at God’s right hand — 
 
"He is our peace";
 
Before the throne we boldly stand — 
 
"He is our peace":
 
The blood-besprinkled mercy-seat,
 
His piercèd side, His hands and feet,
 
Proclaim redemption’s work complete — 
 
"He is our peace."
“Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.” (Hebrews 9:12)

“For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.” (Psalm 22:16)
3
God finds eternal rest in Him — 
 
"He is our peace";
 
That rest which was disturbed by sin — 
 
"He is our peace";
 
We too by faith on Him repose,
 
Who did the Father’s heart disclose,
 
From which this full salvation flows — 
 
"He is our peace."
4
As one with Him we rest secure — 
 
"He is our peace."
 
Unchanging doth His work endure — 
 
"He is our peace";
 
Now seated on the Father’s throne,
 
Elect and precious Cornerstone,
 
On Him we rest — on Him alone — 
 
"He is our peace."
