PEACE, PERFECT PEACE

A HYMN FOR THE 4TH SUNDAY AFTER EPIPHANY


Text by: Edward Henry Bickersteth 1875

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 His throne.
