1. There is peace and joy in the Lord today,
More than all in this world of sin;
There’s a happy life in the holy way;
Praise the Lord, I have entered in.

R: Praise the Lord, I am free!
In His love and grace;
Oh, His blood reaches me;
I abide ’neath His smiling face.

2. I am blessed today, I am free indeed;
What a pleasure to serve the Lord!
How it fills my soul with delight to read
In His sacred and holy Word.

3. Since my cross is gone and my heart is right,
Oh, how blessed to do His will!
Now His yoke is easy, His burden light,
And His spirit my soul doth fill.

4. If you’re overcome when you would do right,
If a deep, aching void within;
There’s a sting of guilt, and a sinful blight,
That will keep you from ent’ring in.

5. All His grace is free as the air we breathe;
We may each have a full supply;
If we will obey, and His word believe,
He’ll prepare us to dwell on high.
