PEACE, perfect peace, in this dark world of sin?
The blood of Jesus whispers peace within.
Peace, perfect peace, by thronging duties pressed?
To do the will of Jesus, this is rest.
Peace, perfect peace, with sorrows surging round?
On Jesus bosom naught 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 ours?
Jesus has vanquished death and all its powers,
It is enough earth’s struggles soon shall cease,
And Jesus calls us to heaven’s perfect peace.
