I think these words need to be applied to our everyday lives, in how we think, feel, react, and how we treat others. What a better world it would be for all!

These are powerful words indeed. I am praying for the other folks that left comments. "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." Romans 15:13

Thanks for this hymn! I feel much strengthened after singing it!
You could really make a sermon out of every stanza. Such powerful and true words.
Ellsworth, ME
This song got me through a really tough time of conflict, as I struggled with what to think. People I loved were on opposing sides of an issue and I desperately wanted only to be on God's side - LOVE!
These words really are so power, beautiful and poignant. An apt reminder of what we are and are being transformed to be!

We sang this song in church this morning...and the verse "May the peace of Christ my Savior" really hit me. I lost my older brother on Sept 14th to alcoholism...just one month after losing my Mum to dementia on Aug 14th. I've been praying to God for peace of mind and last night I had the first restful full nights sleep. God is good!!!

This was my old headmaster's personal favourite when I was at school in Ormskirk (UK) back in the 60's. We sang it perhaps too often, to the exclusion of others, but read slowly and thoughtfully, these words are marvellous.

God bless you Molly.

The verse: 'May I run the race before me' has been in my mind these last few days (I recently lost my husband of 30 years at the age of 52). Knew the hymn but couldn't quite remember the words so very glad to find the lyrics: 'strong and brave... as I onward go' May I be that.
