Original text and translations

English text

Peace I leave with you; My peace I give unto you;
not as the world giveth give I unto you.

Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
Though dark the night, and rough the way before thee,
Strife all a round, and fear and doubt within;

Oh! weary soul, God's watchful care is o'er thee:
Courage! toil on, and thou the goal shalt win.
Trust thou in God, and soon the strife shall cease,
And He shall give to thee His holy peace.

Far in the east the golden morn is breaking,
And radiant hues give promise of the day,
And thro' the gloom a tender voice is speaking:
"Come thou to Me; I am the Living Way!"

Trust thou in God, and soon the night shall cease,
And He shall give to thee His heav'nly peace.

The peace of God that passeth understanding
Shall fill your life with joy for evermore,
Life's tempest over, oh how bright the landing,
And sweet the welcome on the golden shore!

Far in the east the golden morn is breaking,
And radiant hues give promise of the day;
And thro' the gloom a tender voice is speaking:
"Come thou to Me; I am the Living Way!"

Trust thou in God, and soon the night shall cease,
And He shall give to thee His heav'nly peace;
Trust then in God, and soon the storm shall cease,
And He shall give to thee eternal peace.
