The Hymnal of The Evangelical United Brethren Church ‎#229

229. Peace, Perfect Peace

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, our future all unknown?
Jesus we know, and he is on the throne.

4 It is enough: earth's struggles soon shall cease,
And Jesus call us to heaven's perfect peace.

Amen.
