Author: Edward Henry Bickersteth (1825-1906) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #764 (2013) Meter: 10.10 Hymnal Title: Ancient and Modern 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: Assurance; Death and Bereavement; Future hope; God peace of; Heaven; Suffering Scripture: John 16:33 Languages: English Tune Title: SONG 46
