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.
