Prince of Peace, control my will;
Bid this struggling heart be still;
Bid my fears and doubtings cease;
Hush my spirit into peace.
Thou hast bought me with Thy blood,
Opened wide the gate of God.
Peace I ask, but peace must be,
Lord, in being one with Thee.
May Thy will, not mine, be done;
May Thy will and mine be one.
Chase these doubtings from my heart;
Now Thy perfect peace impart.
Savior, at Thy feet I fall,
Thou my life, my God, my all;
Let Thy happy servant be
One forevermore with Thee!
– Mary A. S. Barber (1838)
