Sacred Songs No. 2 ‎#46

46. Perfect Peace

1 Precious words, like music stealing,
O’er the troubled heart opprest;
To the weary fainting spirit,
Breathing comfort, hope, and rest.

Refrain:
“Thou wilt keep him in prefect peace,
whose mind is stayed on Thee,
Because he trusteth in Thee,
Because he trusteth in Thee.”

2 Precious words, that cheer us onward,
When the day is dark and drear,
Lighting up the path before us,
While their living tunes we hear. [Refrain]

3 Precious words of holy promise,
From the home of angels bright;
By the Spirit softly whispered
In the silent hours of night. [Refrain]

4 Precious words, that lift us upward,
All our earthly cares above,
To the Fount of life eternal,
And the source of endless love. [Refrain]
