In per­fect peace my heart is stayed,
On Christ the Lord di­vine;
My bur­dens are on Je­sus laid,
And per­fect peace is mine.

Refrain

In per­fect peace, in per­fect peace,
Tho’ storms around me roll,
My hope is fixed on Christ the Lord,
I’ve peace with­in my soul.

In per­fect peace the Lord will keep
The wea­ry and op­pressed;
In wak­ing hours, in deep­est sleep,
By trust­ing Him, we rest.

Refrain

In per­fect peace whate’er be­tide,
In sun­shine or in storm,
In trust­ing Him I’m sa­tis­fied,
To me can come no harm.

Refrain

For per­fect peace now trust the Lord,
Your all to Him re­sign,
Believe the pro­mise of His word,
His peace will then be thine.
