• Lyrics:
  Prince of Peace, control my will;
  Bid the struggling heart be still;
  Bid my fears and doubtings cease,
  Hush my spirit into peace.
  
  Thou hast bought me with Thy blood,
  Opened wide the gate to God;
  Peace I ask, but peace must be,
  Lord, in being one with Thee.
  
  May Thy will, not mine, be done;
  May Thy will and mine be one;
  Chase these doubtings from my heart,
  Now Thy perfect peace impart.
  
  Savior, at Thy feet I fall,
  Thou my life, my God, my all;
  Let Thy happy servant be
  One forevermore with Thee!
