We bless Thee for Thy peace, O God

Verse 1

We bless Thee for Thy peace, O God, Deep as the soundless sea, Which falls like sunshine on the road Of those who trust in Thee.

Verse 2

We ask not, Father, for repose Which comes from outward rest, If we may have through all life's woes Thy peace within our breast:

Verse 3

That peace which suffers and is strong, Trusts where it cannot see, Deems not the trial-way too long, But leaves the end with Thee:

Verse 4

O Father, give our hearts this peace, Whate'er the outward be, Till all life's discipline shall cease, And we go home to Thee. Amen.
