Easter to Pentecost     Easter 6     John 14:23-29 or 5:1-9, particularly verse 14:27

I give you Peace (YC No 193)

We look to Jesus and we see

A man so bold and free;

He speaks of peace and harmony,

Of peace with dignity.

 “The peace I give is peace indeed;

Not bound by any creed;

No victory in a war can give

A peace by which to live.”

 “My peace can calm a troubled heart;

Can bid dismay depart;

It casts out fear; it brings relief

In sorrow and in grief.”

 “This peace of which I speak is found

Where love and care abound;

My peace is deep and ever new -

My peace I give to you.”

 “Not as the world gives unto you,

For I give what is true;

This love I give you will increase

Your life’s enhancing peace.”
