1 

A mind at perfect peace with God;

   O what a word is this!

A sinner reconciled through blood;

   This, this indeed is peace.

 2 

By nature and by practice far,

   How very far from God,

Yet now by grace brought nigh to Him,

   Through faith in Jesus' blood.

 3 

So nigh, so very nigh to God,

   I cannot nearer be;

For in the person of His Son

   I am as near as He.

 4 

So dear, so very dear to God,

   More dear I cannot be;

The love wherewith He loves the Son,

   Such is His love to me.

 5 

Why should I ever anxious be,

   Since such a God is mine?

He watches o'er me night and day,

   And tells me "Mine is thine."
