My peace I give in times of deepest grief,
Imparting calm and trust and My relief.My peace I give when prayer seems lost, unheard;
Know that My promises are ever in My Word.My peace I give when thou art left alone–
The nightingale at night has sweetest tone.My peace I give in time of utter loss,
The way of glory right to the cross.My peace I give when enemies will blame,
Thy fellowship is sweet through cruel shame.My peace I give in agony and sweat,
For mine own brow with bloody drops was wet.My peace I give when nearest friend betrays–
Peace that is merged in love, and for them prays.My peace I give when there’s but death for thee–
The gateway is the cross to get to Me.L.S.P. from Streams in the Desert
