Author: James M. Gray Hymnal: The Voice of Thanksgiving #21 (1913) First Line: Like sweet music softly breaking Refrain First Line: “Perfect peace, perfect peace Lyrics: 1 Like sweet music softly breaking
On the troubled dreamer’s sleep,
Comes the promise down from heaven
God will all His children keep.
Refrain:
“Perfect peace, perfect peace,
God will give His children peace.”
2 Far above the din and striving
Of life’s wide and restless sea,
Through the singing and the sobbing
Comes this message sweet to me. [Refrain]
3 All my doubts and questions stilling,
All the fears that press the soul,
Telling of a love unchanging
Does this echo ever roll. [Refrain]
4 When the day has reached its twilight,
And my bark its haven nears,
Still the promise lives unbroken
In the glad eternal years. [Refrain] Tune Title: [Like sweet music softly breaking]
God Will Give His Children Peace
