THROUGH THE LOVE OF GOD OUR SAVIOUR – EMHB 525
Author: Mary Peters (1813-1856)
Tune: South Gate
Introduction
Mary Bowley was born in Cirencester in 1813 and married John McWilliams Peters, Rector of Quennington Glorcestershire. Mary Peters first published her Hymn in Hymns intended to help the Communion of Saints in 1847 under the title “Security in Christ”. Mary Peters has to her credit, a collection of Hymns Twenty-Six of which are quite noteworthy. Also her prose “The world’s History from the creation to the Ascension of Queen Victoria “ in Seven Volumes.
The Hymn “Through the love of God our Saviour all will be well” is listed under “Trustfulness and Peace” in the Methodist Hymn Book and emphasises the fact that although we will pass through trials and tribulations, we should continue to have faith and confidence in God whose favour is free and changeless and “all will be well” with us. She concludes that once we rely on our Father’s love, Jesus will supply our every need. This is no doubt is also the strong conviction of many of us who are facing trials and tribulations.
Mary Peters died at Clifton on 29th July, 1856 aged 43.
EMHB 525
1.Through the love of God our Saviour,
All will be well;
Free and changeless is His favour,
All, all is well:
Precious is the blood that healed us,
Perfect is the grace that sealed us;
Strong the hand stretched forth to shield us,
All must be well.
2. Though we pass through tribulation,
All will be well;
Christ hath purchased full salvation,
All, all is well:
Happy still in God confiding;
Fruitful, if in Christ abiding;
Holy, through the Spirit’s guiding;
All must be well.
3. We expect a bright to-morrow,
All will be well;
Faith can sing through days of sorrow,
All, all is well:
On our Father’s love relying,
Jesus every need supplying,
Then in living or in dying,
All must be well.

Ive heard this song a number of times but this is the first time its ministering to me especially the second and third verse. I have been troubled on an issue but by this song I find solace in Christ Jesus.
