There is joy in my heart that the world cannot give,
There is peace in my soul that forever will live,
With God's Holy Spirit now and ever my guide,
Blessed Faith, Hope, and Love, in my heart will abide.

CHORUS

'Tis the joy in Christ Jesus when God doth forgive,
'Tis the peace of God's Spirit who in me doth live,
'Tis the joy of His service that comes with each day,
'Tis the peace of communion I find when I pray.

Now with peace I come in and with joy I go out,
Undismayed by the tumult, the noise, and the shout.
Encased in Christ's armor, may I valiantly fight
With both wisdom and love for His Truth and the Right.

At the foot of the Cross I will stand in His Name,
For His Word, for His Birth, for His untarnished Fame.
May others, like Thomas, 'neath the Spirit's keen sword
Have their doubts all removed and acknowledge Him Lord.
