Peace to Soothe Our Bitter Woes
===============================
w: Nikolai Grundtvig; Trans. by George T. Rygh
m: David M. Cherwien, 1999

[Part 1]
Peace to soothe our bitter woes,
God in Christ on us bestows;
Jesus bought our peace with God
In his holy, precious blood;
Peace in him for sinners found
Is the Gospel's joyful sound.

[Part 2]
Peace within the Church still dwells
In her welcomes and farewells;
And through God's baptismal pow'r
Peace surrounds our dying hour
Peace be with you full and free,
Now and through eternity.
