The Christian’s Song

There’s a peace and there’s a joy

That no silver coin can buy.

There’s a love not bound by limit,

And a faith that’ll never die.

There’s a hope beyond all measure

And a glory, yes, on high.

Yes, that’s the Christian song.

There’s a life, oh, everlasting

And a freedom from all sin.

There’s a God who paid the ransom

For the fallen ways of men.

In our place, he died and suffered,

But in three days rose again.

Yes, that’s the Christian song.

There’s a realm unknown to sorrow,

Hidden
