Lyics

Prince of Peace! control my will;

Bid this struggling heart be still;

Bid my fears and doubtings cease--

Hush my spirit into peace.



Thou hast bought me with thy blood,

Opened wide the gate to God;

Peace I ask--but peace must be,

Lord, in being one with thee.



May thy will, not mine, be done;

May thy will and mine be one:

Chase these doubtings from my heart;

Now thy perfect peace impart.



Saviour, at thy feet I fall;

Thou my Life, my God, my All.

Let thy happy servant be 

One for evermore with thee.
