The Perfect Peace

BY CHARLES H. GLIDDEN.

Peace that floweth as a river,
Calm, and deep, and wide, forever;
Peace that comes of selfless Love,
Peace all other peace above.
Father, give this peace abiding,
To Thy sons, in Thee confiding.

Peace and Love are ours forever,
These from us no power can sever.
Like the ether Love surrounds,
Truth alone man's being bounds.
Peace eternal, rest abiding,
Come to us in God confiding.

Peace that passeth power of telling,
In the heart a spring upwelling;
This the peace we may command,
Holding ever God's right hand.
In Thy secret Place we're hiding,
O, great Heart of Love, confiding.
