Peace and healing on thy wing

by Gustav Gottheil (1827–1903)

Representative text

As printed in The Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal (1985), no. 387.

Verse 1

Peace and healing on thy wing; And to every troubled breast Speak of the divine behest: Thou shalt rest, Thou shalt rest!

Verse 2

Earthly longings bid retire, Quench the passions’ hurtful fire; To the wayward, sin oppressed, Bring thou thy divine behest: Thou shalt rest, Thou shalt rest!

Verse 3

Wipe from every cheek the tear, Banish care and silence fear; All things working for the best, Teach us the divine behest: Thou shalt rest, Thou shalt rest!
