A mind at perfect peace with God
Create PowerPoint slides from this hymn →A Plymouth Brethren hymn meditating on the peace that comes through reconciliation with God through Christ's atoning blood. It culminates in the assurance that the believer is 'so near, so very near to God' through union with Christ.
Verse 1
A mind at perfect peace with God,
Oh! what a word is this!
A sinner reconciled through blood;
This! this indeed is peace.
Verse 2
By nature and by practice far,
How very far from God!
Yet now by grace brought nigh to Him.
Through faith in Jesus' blood.
Verse 3
So near, so very near to God,
I cannot nearer be;
For in the person of His Son
I am as near as He.
Verse 4
So dear, so very dear to God,
More dear I cannot be;
The love wherewith He loves the Son.
Such is His love to me.
Verse 5
Why should I ever careful be
Since such a God is mine?
He watches o'er me night and day,
And tells me "Mine is thine."
