A beautiful, sacred hymn with music by Kevin G. Pace and text by Mary Ann W. Snowball. YouTube video: Peace Comes From Heaven

Text:

Peace comes from heaven through Jesus Christ; He is the true Prince of Peace.

Like giving manna to all around, He offers his kingly feast.

Peace comes from heaven as we near his lavish table all spread.

He feeds our souls through tranquility, nourishing with living bread.

Peace comes from heaven through Jesus Christ to all of God’s cov’nant saints.

As He empowers each one to serve, He lends to others his traits.

Peacemakers choose to spread his love, bearing true peace in his stead. “

My peace I give to you alone,” are holy words He has said.

Peace comes from heaven through Jesus Christ, sensing a stillness to be.

Peacemakers calm stormy souls of men, softening strife rev’rently,

Clearing contentious clouds that clash, mending sore hearts of disdain.

Peacemakers bring unity and calm, causing all tempers to tame.

Peace comes from heaven through Jesus Christ; He filled the Father’s true plan.

Peacemakers blessed from God’s perfect hands imitate his love of man.

Hearing these sacred, holy words: “Peace, peace be unto thy soul,”

Brings hope and stillness through God’s pure Name, letting his children be whole.
