Peace, perfect peace, in this dark world of sin:
The blood of Jesus whispers peace within.
Peace, perfect peace, by thronging duties presse
d:
To do the will of Jesus, this is rest.
Peace, perfect peace, with sorrows surging round
:
On Jesus' bosom nought but calm is found.
Peace, perfect peace, with loved ones far away:
In Jesus' keeping we are safe, and they.
Peace, perfect peace, our future all unknown:
Jesus we know, and He is on the throne.
Peace, perfect peace, death shadowing us and our
s:
Jesus has vanquished death and all its powers.
It is enough; earth's struggles soon shall cease
,
And Jesus call us to Heaven's perfect peace.
