How sweet is Christ’s gift—
Perfect peace, perfect joy!
It is as vast and abundant as a mighty river;
Its depth is beyond what words can ever describe.

My foundation is in Christ;
upon this Rock I have perfect peace.

2
Once my sins pierced my conscience
and filled me with sorrow.
How did that sorrow finally end?
By the eyes of faith, I looked upon the cross,
and there I saw my Emmanuel—
He had finished everything for me.

3
While I am safely hidden
in the hands and heart of my Lord,
all the enemy’s schemes against me are useless.
The enemy’s weapons will all be shattered;
there is no reason for me to be shaken—
I have no need to fear at all.

4
How many promises has He given me
so that fear and doubt may completely disappear!
Not even one of His promises will fail.
Satan, go away!
Not one of God’s words will ever be broken.

5
Even when troubles and hardships
increase and become overwhelming,
what do I really have to lose?
I belong to the Lord.
Jesus is mine, and His kingdom is mine as well.
Who can ever take away the portion
that He has given me?
