perfect peace
SASB #752
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, with sorrows surging round?
On Jesus' bosom naught but calm is found.
4.Peace, perfect peace, with loved ones far away?
In Jesus' keeping we are safe, and they.
5.Peace, perfect peace, our future all unknown?
Jesus we know, and he is on the throne.
6.Peace, perfect peace, death shadowing us and ours?
Jesus has vanquished death and all its powers.
7.It is enough: earth's struggles soon shall cease,
And Jesus call us to Heaven's perfect peace.
Edward Henry Bickersteth (1825-1906)
The first verse of this song was the final benediction of Salvation Meeting every Sunday when I was growing up. That means almost 1000 times that I heard it played on the piano (CCC Mrs. Lock!) and organ (YPSM Mr. Henry!) during my childhood. What a way to start the week! (Salvation Meeting was at 6:00 and was usually the last program on a Sunday.)
