[Verse 1]
The world is filled with Christian names,
More than the ancient days of old;
Yet where is holy fear of God,
And love for truth more dear than gold?
They knew the things the Father loved,
They trembled at His holy word;
But now men weep for earthly gain,
And have no time to seek the Lord.

[Chorus]
Peace, peace, my weary soul doth cry,
For wickedness is spread abroad;
No man can tell what morn shall bring,
Yet I seek peace from Thee, O Lord.
Peace, peace, let righteousness descend,
Let evil from the earth depart;
O Father, still the troubled world,
And plant Thy peace within my heart.

[Verse 2]
When prayer should rise like morning dew,
Men chase the bread that soon decays;
They say they labour to survive,
Yet lose their souls in restless ways.
The saints of old had little here,
Yet gladly served with heart and hand;
But we, with comfort all around,
Still crave for more in every land.

[Chorus]
Peace, peace, my weary soul doth cry,
For wickedness is spread abroad;
No man can tell what morn shall bring,
Yet I seek peace from Thee, O Lord.
Peace, peace, let righteousness descend,
Let evil from the earth depart;
O Father, still the troubled world,
And plant Thy peace within my heart.

[Verse 3]
O restless soul, what seekest thou?
Why thirst for more till life is gone?
The grave will close on every pride,
And earthly treasures pass anon.
Many have died before their time,
Because desire led them astray;
They crossed the bounds the Father set,
And Satan struck them on the way.

[Chorus]
Peace, peace, my weary soul doth cry,
For wickedness is spread abroad;
No man can tell what morn shall bring,
Yet I seek peace from Thee, O Lord.
Peace, peace, let righteousness descend,
Let evil from the earth depart;
O Father, still the troubled world,
And plant Thy peace within my heart.
