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.
