What peace, sublime,
washing over him
fearing no more his dying
released of his sin
The second thief on the cross
hanging next to the Lord
hope in answer to his prayer
assurance of eternal life
The gift of a place in paradise
with our risen king
his through his faith in the Christ
redeemed by his loving word
