The exceeding riches of His grace.
Ephesians 2:7
Words: Corrie E. M. Hatcher, in Truth in Song (Chicago, Illinois: Clara H. Scott, 1896), number 19.
Music: Haneda Abel Fiske, 1896 (🔊 pdf nwc). We speculate this composer may be Abel Fiske Jones, the music teacher father of Clara Scott.

Peace I have most full and free,
Peace from simply trusting Thee,
Joy serene I hold all day,
When I follow Christ, the way.
Love divine including all,
From the greatest to the small,
Can be mine in that degree
That I let it shine thro’ me.
Safe from fears am I and whole,
Thro’ the Christ within my soul,
Rest I have in every thing,
When to Thee I closely cling.
Satisfaction, full, complete,
Fills me with its fragrance sweet,
Health of body and of mind
In the living Christ I find.
