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 naught but calm is found.

 4 

Peace, perfect peace, with loved ones far away?

   In Jesus' keeping we are safe, and they.

 5 

Peace, perfect peace, our future all unknown?

   Jesus we know, and He is on the throne.
