In perfect peace, O gracious Lord,
No fears my heart molest,
For Thou, whose voice controls the deep,
Can soothe my care to rest.
Refrain
Thy perfect peace Thou givest me,
My ever present guide;
Thy perfect peace thou leavest me—
What can I ask beside?
In perfect peace from day to day
I learn Thy righteous will,
And with a love that questions not,
Obey and follow still.
Refrain
In perfect peace the clouds I view,
The gathering storm I see,
For Thou hast taught my soul to know
It shall be well with me.
Refrain
In perfect peace, O gracious Lord,
Till life’s last hour shall close,
I’ll sing Thy goodness o’er and o’er,
And on Thy love repose.
