Tune: | SONG 46 |
Composer (melody and bass): | Orlando Gibbons (1583-1625) |
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, death shadowing us and ours?
Jesus has vanquished death and all its powers.
4 Peace, perfect peace, our future all unknown?
Jesus we know, and he is on the throne.
5 It is enough: earth's struggles soon shall cease,
and Jesus call to heaven's perfect peace.
