Peace, perfect peace, in this dark world of sin
"You will keep in perfect peace, him whose mind is steadfast". Isa. 26:3
Peace, perfect peace, in this dark world of sin?
The blood of Jesus whispers peace within.
Peace, perfect peace, by thronging duties
To do the will of Jesus, this is rest.
Peace, perfect peace, with sorrow 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
