PEACE · 8.8.8.8.D
Scripture
Isaiah 26:3
Verse 1
Peace, perfect peace, in this dark world of sin?
The blood of Jesus whispers peace within.
Verse 2
Peace, perfect peace, by thronging duties pressed?
To do the will of Jesus: this is rest.
Verse 3
Peace, perfect peace, with loved ones far away?
In Jesus' keeping we are safe, and they.
Verse 4
Peace, perfect peace, our future all unknown?
Jesus we know, and He is on the throne.

A Victorian hymn of spiritual tranquility, emphasizing Christ as the source of perfect peace.
