Saviour, Lord, who at Thy death

Verse 1
Saviour, Lord, who at thy death
Peace didst to thy church bequeath,
Now confer the peace on me,
Bring me now my legacy.

Verse 2
Grant me (not as mortals give
Hoping better to receive)
That, for which I sigh and mourn,
Give, and look for no return.

Verse 3
Grant me for thy mercy sake,
Me, who no return can make,
That which I can never buy,
Save, and freely justify.

Verse 4
Grant me, (not as childish men
Grant, and ask their gifts again)
Peace, which none can take away,
Peace which shall for ever stay.

Verse 5
Now the benefit impart,
Speak it to my troubled heart,
Comfort, and thyself restore,
Come, and bid me sin no more.

Verse 6
Come, and wipe away my tears,
Come, and scatter all my fears,
Come, and take me to thy breast,
Lull me to eternal rest.
