Peace, perfect peace

Peace, perfect peace,
in this dark world of sin?
The blood of Jesus gives us peace within.

2. Peace, perfect peace,
by thronging duties pressed?
To do the will of Jesus, this is rest.

3. Peace, perfect peace,
with sorrows surging round?
In Jesus’ presence, his true calm is found.

4. Peace, perfect peace,
when loved ones are in need?
In Jesus’ keeping all are safe indeed.

5. Peace, perfect peace,
our future all unknown?
Jesus we know, and he is on the throne.

6. Peace, perfect peace,
death shadowing us and ours?
Jesus has vanquished death and all its powers.

7. It is enough;
earth’s troubles soon shall cease
when Jesus calls us to heaven’s perfect peace.
