“THOUGHTS OF PEACE.”

By G. T. Wilson

“I will hear what God the Lord will speak; for He will speak peace unto His people, and to His saints; but let them not turn again to folly.” Ps. 85 : 8.
O LORD, Thy thoughts toward me are good, For they are thoughts of peace; By Thee my wish is understood; Thy goodness doth increase!
“Peace on the earth, good-will to man,” Sang angels at Christ’s birth; “Peace” is the watchword of that plan Which gives man’s soul its worth.
My soul, acquaint thyself with God, And with Him be at peace; Peace is unknown where sinners plod; Let selfish strivings cease.
Christ Jesus is my life and peace; He makes me one with God. Through Him from sin I find release; I love the path He trod.
The peace He gives, the world knows not, Nor can it take away; “A troubled sea,” the sinner’s lot; There is a happier way.
When Christ speaks peace, there spreads a calm O’er all life’s troubled sea. The soul that hears it, has the balm Which makes repining flee.
When God has set at peace my heart, No one can there make war. Peace-making is a heavenly art No being should abhor.
