Peace, Perfect Peace

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.

Peace

per­fect peace

with sor­rows 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.
