THE PRECIOUS PEACE OF GOD

One of my favorite old hymns declares the blessing of God's peace and is a perfect companion to the cards I want to share today.

Like a river glorious is God’s perfect peace
Over all victorious, in its bright increase;
Perfect, yet it floweth fuller every day,
Perfect, yet it groweth deeper all the way. 
 
Refrain: 
Stayed upon Jehovah, hearts are fully blest
Finding, as He promised, perfect peace and rest.
 
Hidden in the hollow of His blessed hand
Never foe can follow, never traitor stand;
Not a surge of worry, not a shade of care,
Not a blast of hurry touch the spirit there.
 
Every joy or trial falleth from above,
Traced upon our dial by the Sun of Love;
We may trust Him fully all for us to do;
They who trust Him wholly find Him wholly true.
