Lyrics

Perfect is my heart be­fore Thee,
Perfect walk I in Thy ways;
Perfect love ev­en now re­stores me,
Perfect is my song of praise.

Refrain

I will walk with a per­fect heart,
Love has cast out fear;
I will walk with a per­fect heart,
Joy has dried each tear.

Perfect free­dom! I de­clare it!
For the truth has made me free.
Perfect peace! yea, naught shall mer­it,
For my mind is stayed on Thee.

Refrain
