Hymn 159 - Jesus Gives Me Peace

For my faith destitute.

More than I can bear!

Think of Christ born so poor.

Why should I despair?

For the Truth sacrifice.

More than I can bear!

Think of Christ’s crown of thorns.

Why should I despair?

For ’Good News’ hardships more;

More than I can bear!

Think of Christ scorned of men.

Why should I despair?

For the church oft maligned.

More than I can bear!

Think of Christ on the cross.

Why should I despair?

REFRAIN

Jesus gives me peace,

Jesus gives me peace,

Peace that Jesus gives me

The world has not giv’n.

Man cannot Take away,

’Tis the peace of heav’n.
