The Chariot of Peace
- Apr 18
- 1 min read
A silent sweetness reigns
amid the homey things--
Exalted hope, enduring faith,
a love that sings--
A promise holding fast
through all my days,
A future pure, triumphant,
filled with praise.
For all the pain and sadness
that full obedience brings--
The parted ways, the broken dreams,
the torn heartstrings--
Christ brings the chariot of peace,
the height of mountain views,
Amazing grace, and heaven
on earth made new.
And so renunciation meets again
nostalgic dreams of youthful joy,
Releases tarnished hopes,
resists impure alloy--
Embraces heaven
and the lonely road
Content with nothing
but to walk with God.
