#381: Peace, to Soothe Our Bitter Woes

Okay, I thought the phenomenon of "these texts have nothing in common but they have the same tune so we'll just put them together and only write the music once" was not really a thing, but here it is again. This is the same music as 380. It's sort of Easter-y in that it's about how "Jesus bought our peace with God," but then, I would expect to find that in the Holy Week section (there's no mention of Jesus' resurrection here). I would expect this title in the "peace" (and justice) section, but you could say it's not really about "peace" in the "social justice" sense, more "calm, tranquility, unity of the church." So...they just didn't want to write the music again. Except they've done that for plenty of other hymns. I don't know.
