Yoke of Peace
 
1. Those who take Christ at His Word,
Give their souls  into His care,
They are bound by love's strong cord,
Willingly His yoke they share. 
 
2. They are kept in perfect peace,
Nothing then can make them sad,
Gospel truth brings sweet release,
Jesus' presence makes them glad. 
 
3. Tho' their lives a tangle seem,
To His glory He will weave 
Living patterns with great sheen 
While in Jesus they believe. 
 
4. Ready for God's Paradise,
They will walk with Him in white 
Heaven's not a heavy price,
Here and now they're in its light. 
 
5. Worthy is the Lamb that died,
He redeemed them with His blood.
Worthy, who in Him abide,
Reconciled by Him to God.
