Peace be to this habitation!
Peace to every soul herein!
Peace
the foretaste of salvation
the seal of canceled sin
that speaks its heavenly Giver
Peace to earthly minds unknown
Peace divine
that lasts forever
Here erect its glorious throne!
On the son of peace descending
On the daughters of Thy grace
Big with comforts never ending
Let the promise now take place:
Each receive the gracious shower
Each the Gospel blessing prove
Witness of Thy pardoning power
Witness of Thy perfect love.
Now Thy love-infusing Spirit
Shed in every heart abroad
Rise
thro’ Thy imputed merit
Every child a child of God!
Each receive the constant witness
Each obtain the joyous rest
Taste in Thee celestial sweetness
God residing in their breast.
Claim for Thine each faithful servant
By the reconciling Word
Pure in heart
in spirit fervent
Let them serve their heav’nly Lord
For Thy pardoning love adore Thee
Walk in sinless liberty
Brethren to the King of Glory
Friends of God
and heirs with Thee!
Visit
Lord
with Thy salvation
Every providential guest
Every friend
and kind relation
Take into Thy people’s rest:
Conscious of Thy sacred presence
Let them feel the loving fear
Cry with blissful acquiescence
God
the pardoning God
is here!
Prince of Peace
if Thou art near us
Fix in all our hearts Thy home
By Thy last appearing cheer us
Quickly let Thy kingdom come:
Answer all our expectation
Give our raptured souls to prove
Glorious
uttermost salvation
Heavenly
everlasting love!
