NO ONE TAKETH YOUR PEACE AWAY.

And over all; compassionate,
A tender Presence seems to wait,
Beyond the cloud, beyond the light,
Beckoning upward from height to height.

"In sleep by night and in rest by day,
May peace be yours," did the curfew say?
"I, only, can give you peace!" replies
A Voice that thrilleth the boundless skies.
May peace be yours," did the curfew say?
"I, only, can give you peace!" replies
A Voice that thrilleth the boundless skies.
Lord Jesus, turn us from the noise
Of endless strivings and empty joys,
To find forever Thy one true peace,
Rest from sorrow, from sin release!
Of endless strivings and empty joys,
To find forever Thy one true peace,
Rest from sorrow, from sin release!
Then will each morn of the week-day year
The Lord's Day morning mirror clear;
And every night will the curfew say,
"No one taketh your peace away."
The Lord's Day morning mirror clear;
And every night will the curfew say,
"No one taketh your peace away."
