[Peace, perfect peace, in this dark world of sin?—]
“Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is
stayed on Thee, because he trusteth in Thee.”
Isai. xxvi. 3.
Peace, perfect peace, in this dark world of sin?—
The blood of Jesus whispers peace within.
The blood of Jesus whispers peace within.
Peace, perfect peace, by thronging duties press'd?—
To do the will of Jesus, this is rest.
To do the will of Jesus, this is rest.
Peace, perfect peace, with sorrows surging round?—
On Jesus' bosom nought but calm is found.
On Jesus' bosom nought but calm is found.
Peace, perfect peace, with loved ones far away?—
In Jesus' keeping we are safe and they.
In Jesus' keeping we are safe and they.
Peace, perfect peace, our future all unknown?—
Jesus we know, and He is on the throne.
Jesus we know, and He is on the throne.
Peace, perfect peace, death shadowing us and ours?—
Jesus has vanquish'd death and all its powers.
Jesus has vanquish'd death and all its powers.
It is enough: earth's struggles soon shall cease,
And Jesus call us to heaven's perfect peace.
And Jesus call us to heaven's perfect peace.
