Author: Edward H. Bickersteth, 1825-1906 Hymnal: Common Praise #553 (2000) Meter: 10.10 Scripture: Luke 10:40 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, death shadowing us and ours?
Jesus has vanquished death and all its powers.
4 Peace, perfect peace, our future all unknown?
Jesus we know, and he is on the throne.
5 It is enough: earth's struggles soon shall cease,
and Jesus call to heaven's perfect peace. Topics: Peace and Justice Languages: English Tune Title: SONG 46
