  1. Peace, perfect peace, in this dark world of sin:
    The blood of Jesus whispers 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:
    On Jesus' bosom nought but calm is found.
  4. Peace, perfect peace, with loved ones far away:
    In Jesus' keeping we are safe, and they.
  5. Peace, perect 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 struggles soon shall cease,
    And Jesus call us to heaven's perfect peace. Amen.
