Peace, perfect peace, in this dark world of sin?
[Modernised Version]1 Peace, perfect peace, in this dark world of sin?
the blood of Jesus gives us peace within.
2 Peace, perfect peace, by troubled thoughts oppressed?
to do the will of Jesus, this is rest.
3 Peace, perfect peace, when loved ones are in need?
in Jesus' keeping we are safe indeed.
4 Peace, perfect peace, the future all unknown?
we know that Jesus reigns upon the throne.
5 Peace, perfect peace, death shadowing us and ours?
Christ Jesus conquered death and all its powers.
6 Jesus is Lord! Earth's struggles soon shall cease,
and we shall come to heaven's perfect peace.
