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 call us to heaven's perfect peace. | |
