True peace is only peace that will not cease
And Christ won such an ambience for His own
Where the peace dividends always increase.
Man's compromise ignobly grants release
To sin; through grace a nobler peace is known:
True peace is only peace that will not cease
No peace attends the world of man's caprice:
A world of righteousness will soon be shown
Where the peace dividends always increase.
Each crimson stain washed whiter than a fleece,
His saints praise Christ who suffered to atone:
True peace is only peace that will not cease
Far better than the faded charms of Greece,
The place God loves where Christ is on the throne
Where the peace dividends always increase.
Rome claimed it owed survival to its geese
But we proclaim real peace through Christ alone:
True peace is only peace that will not cease
Where the peace dividends always increase.
And Christ won such an ambience for His own
Where the peace dividends always increase.

Very nice.
