Come while God is calling,
Hear His word today,
Peace thro’ the blood of the cross;
Take the gift He offers,
Come without delay,
Peace thro’ the blood of the cross.
Refrain
Peace! wonderful peace!
Peace! wonderful peace!
Peace thro’ the blood of the cross;
Peace! wonderful peace!
Peace! wonderful peace!
Peace thro’ the blood of the cross.
Sink the past forever
’Neath the cleansing tide,
Peace thro’ the blood of the cross;
Let the Holy Spirit
In your heart abide,
Peace thro’ the blood of the cross.
Refrain
Blessing free and boundless
Flowing from above,
Peace thro’ the blood of the cross;
Everlasting mercy,
Everlasting love,
Peace thro’ the blood of the cross.
Refrain
Tell the joyful story
Everywhere you go,
Peace thro’ the blood of the cross;
Till, the wide world over,
Ransomed souls shall know
Peace thro’ the blood of the cross.
