Peace, perfect peace, in this dark world of sin?

Author: Edward Henry Bickersteth Hymnal: LHTC1918 #413 (1917) Person Name: G. T. Caldbeck Lyrics: 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. 6 Peace, perfect peace, death shadowing us and ours? Jesus has vanquished death and all its powers. 7 It is enough: earth's struggles soon shall cease, And Jesus call us to heaven's perfect peace. Amen.

I lay my sins on Jesus

I bring my guilt to Jesus To wash my crimson stains White, in His Blood most precious, Till not a spot remains. 2 I lay my wants on Jesus: All fullness dwells in Him; He heals all my diseases, He doth my soul redeem. I lay my griefs on Jesus, My burdens and my cares; He from them all releases, He all my sorrows shares. 3 I long to be like Jesus, Meek, loving, lowly, mild; I long to be like Jesus, The Father's holy child; I long to be with Jesus, Amid the heavenly throng; To sing with saints His praises, To learn the angels' song.
