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.
[Verse 3]
Peace, perfect peace, with sorrows surging âround?
On Jesusâ bosom naught but calm is found.
[Verse 4]
Peace, perfect peace, âmid sufferingâs sharpest throes?
The sympathy of Jesus breathes re - pose.

Peace, perfect peace, with loved ones far away?
In Jesusâ keeping we are safe, and they.
[Verse 6]
Peace, perfect peace, our future all unknown?
Jesus we know, and He is on the throne.
[Verse 7]
Peace, perfect peace, death shadâwing us and ours?
Jesus has vanquished death and all its powârs.

It is enough: earthâs struggles soon shall cease,
And Jesus calls us to Heavânâs perfect peace.
