Hymn lyrics to Peace, Perfect Peace – lyrics by Edward H. Bickersteth, Jr., music by George T. Caldbeck
Peace, Perfect Peace – a hymn about peace and assurance
“Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusts in Thee.”
Isaiah 26:3
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.
