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, ’mid suffering’s sharpest throes? |
The sympathy of Jesus breathes repose. |
|
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 shad’wing us and ours? |
Jesus has vanquished death and all its pow’rs. |
|
It is enough: earth’s struggles soon shall cease, |
And Jesus calls us to Heav’n’s perfect peace. |
