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 nought but calm is found.

Peace, perfect peace! 'mid suffering's keenest throes ?
The sympathy of Jesus brings repose.

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.
