Perfect Peace (Sanford)

My soul hath found ab­id­ing peace

Above earth’s bu­sy whirl and din

For grace hath made the strife to cease

That held so long God’s throne with­in.

’Tis peace

’tis peace

’tis per­fect peace

My Sav­ior keeps in per­fect peace;

’Tis peace

’tis peace

’tis per­fect peace

My Sav­ior keeps in per­fect peace.

’Tis peace that like a riv­er flows

Calmly along life’s de­vi­ous way

My will no longer doth op­pose

The Mas­ter’s mild and gen­tle sway.

O won­drous gift so free­ly giv’n

To me

the least of His re­deemed

That brought e’en here the calm of Heav’n

As on His Word my soul I leaned.

O gra­cious Sav­ior

Prince of Peace

Accept the grate­ful praise I bring.

And when my life on earth shall cease

In Heav­en I will Thy prais­es sing.
