Hymn · Comfort
Peace, Perfect Peace
Organ, every verse, the words light up as you sing. Tune: Pax Tecum.
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 nought but calm is found.
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 shadowing us and ours:Jesus has vanquished death and all its powers.
It is enough; earth's struggles soon shall cease,And Jesus call us to heaven's perfect peace.
