And God's calling was so precious,
                    More than the stars;
        The Lord elected thee, yes, like Aaron, He chose thee,
                  Great holy royal garments,
                  He also placed upon thee.
               //We, thy people, would like to be,
             Bells of gold that adorn all thy garments,
                  And announce thy calling//
                           2
              The God we serve, God of Abraham,
                Isaac, Israel, He is also thy God,
             The good Lord will always be thy shield,
            We pray He'll allow to have thee among us.
        His people on this day so joyful, we give Him all praise,
     To the only wise God and also almighty for His boundless love.

              The peace that my Father has placed,
               Is peace that enlightened my heart;
              I searched in the world for this peace,
                  But never did I find it there.
                        CHORUS
           Joy and gratitude have filled my heart and soul,
            For the Lord gave me seal of the Holy Spirit;
                   And with His grand love,
                    He has redeemed me;
                     Oh, blessed peace,
                  That God has placed in me.
                           2
                The Son of God upon the cross,
              Sustained such great anguish and pain;
               He died, though an innocent man,
              And His blood was the price for our sin.
                           3
               The peace that I give, says the Lord,
               It's not as the world gives their own;
