Peace to the house I enter now!
If sent with 'I1iy commission. Thou
Shalt answer Lord for me,
Peace to the son of peace impart.
Set up Thy kingdom in his heart
Through faith which is in Thee.

In bliss assured and pardon seal'd.
Now let him find the word fulfiU'd,
Of present heaven possess'd;
Thyself in him and his reveal,
Thyself in every bosom dwell,
Our everlasting Guest.
