PEACE, perfect peace, in this dark world of sin: In Jesus' keeping we are safe, and they. The blood of Jesus whispers peace within.

2 Peace, perfect peace, by thronging duties. pressed:

To do the will of Jesus,-this is rest.

3 Peace, perfect peace, with sorrows surging round:

On Jesus' bosom naught but calm is found. 4 Peace, perfect peace, with loved ones far away:

ALSTONE L. M.

5 Peace, perfect peace, our future all un-
known:

Jesus we know, and He is on the throne.
6 Peace, perfect peace, death shadowing us
and ours:

Jesus has vanquished death and all its powers.
7 It is enough: earth's struggles soon shall

cease,

And Jesus call us to heaven's perfect peace.

COMPLETE in Thee, no work of mine
May take, dear Lord, the place of Thine:
Thy blood has pardon bought for me,
And I am now complete in Thee.

2 Complete in Thee, no more shall sin
Thy grace has conquered, reign within;
Thy voice will bid the tempter flee,
And I shall stand complete in Thee.

3 Complete in Thee, each want supplied,
And no good thing to me denied,
Since Thou my portion, Lord, wilt be,
I ask no more, con plete in Thee.

4 Dear Saviour, when before Thy bar
All tribes and tongues assembled are,
Among Thy chosen may I be
At Thy right hand, complete in Thee.

5 Complete in Thee, forever blest,
Of all Thy fulness, Lord, possessed,

Aaron Robarts Wolfe 1851

Thy praise throughout eternity,
Thy love I'll sing, complete in Thee.
636
FOUNTAIN of grace, rich, full, and free,
What need I, that is not in Thee?
Full pardon, strength to meet the day,
And peace which none can take away.
2 Doth sickness fill my heart with fear?
"Tis sweet to know that Thou art near;
Am I with dread of justice tried?
"Tis sweet to know that Christ hath died.
3 In life, Thy promises of aid
Forbid heart to be afraid;

my

In death, peace gently veils the eyes;
Christ rose, and I shall surely rise.

4 O all-sufficient Saviour, be
This all-sufficiency to me;

Nor pain, nor sin, nor death can harm
The weakest, shielded by Thine arm.

James Edmeston 1844

THE Lord's my Shepherd, and I know
For all my wants He cares:
He leads where peaceful waters flow,
And where the greenest pastures grow,

A rest for me prepares.

2 If e'er I faint with noonday heat,

He pities my distress;
Revives my soul with cordial sweet,
And, for His name's sake, leads my feet
In paths of righteousness.

3 Yea, though I walk death's valley drear,
My Shepherd at my side

ALETTA 7s.

Will bid me naught of evil fear,
And with His rod and staff be near
To comfort and to guide.

4 For me He has a table spread
In spite of all my foes;
His oil of grace perfumes my head,
And, with His blessings on me shed,
My cup of joy o'erflows.

5 Through all my life His love and grace
Will surely follow me;

And in His holy dwelling place,
Where I shall see Him face to face,
My home shall ever be.

"BLESSED are the pure in heart"
They have loved the better part.
When life's journey they have trod,
They shall go to see their God.
2 Till in glory they appear,
They shall often see Him here;
And His grace shall learn to know
In His glorious works below.
3 When the sun begins to rise,
Spreading brightness through the skies,

They will love to praise and bless
Christ, the Sun of righteousness.
4 In the watches of the night,
When the stars are clear and bright,
"Thus the just shall shine," they say,
"In the Resurrection day."

God in everything they see:
First in all their thoughts is He:
They have loved the better part;
"Blessed are the pure in heart!"

John Mason Neale 1844

DEAR Lord and Father of mankind,
Forgive our feverish ways!
Reclothe us in our rightful mind;
In purer lives Thy service find,

In deeper reverence, praise.

2 In simple trust like theirs who heard, Beside the Syrian sea,

The gracious calling of the Lord,
Let us, like them, without a word
Rise up and follow Thee.

3 O Sabbath rest by Galilee!
O calm of hills above,

Where Jesus knelt to share with Thee
The silence of eternity,
Interpreted by love!

MIZPAH 7s.

4 With that deep hush subduing all
Our words and works that drown
The tender whisper of Thy call,
As noiseless let Thy blessing fall

As fell Thy manna down.

5 Drop Thy still dews of quietness, Till all our strivings cease:

Take from our souls the strain and stress; And let our ordered lives confess

The beauty of Thy peace.

6 Breathe through the pulses of desire
Thy coolness and Thy balm;

Let sense be dumb, its heats expire:
Speak through the earthquake, wind, and fire,
O still small voice of calm!

John Greenleaf Whittier 1872

LET my life be hid with Thee,

Gracious Saviour, Lord of might: Saved from sin, from dangers free, Lightened by Thy perfect light. 2 Let my life be hid with Thee, When my soul is vexed below;

Let me still Thy mercy see,

When bowed down by grief and woe. 3 Let my life be hid with Thee, Bound within Thy life above, Living through eternity

In the realms of peace and love.

My Jesus, as Thou wilt:
O may Thy will be mine
Into Thy hand of love

I would my all resign.
Through sorrow or through joy,
Conduct me as Thine own,
And help me still to say,
My Lord, Thy will be done.
2 My Jesus, as Thou wilt:

If needy here and poor, Give me Thy people's bread, Their portion rich and sure. The manna of Thy word

Let my soul feed upon; And if all else should fail, My Lord, Thy will be done.

AD LUCEM 6s.

Arr. by H. P. Main, 1880.

3 My Jesus, as Thou wilt:
Though seen through many a tear,
Let not my star of hope

Grow dim or disappear.
Since Thou on earth hast wept
And sorrowed oft alone,
If I must weep with Thee,

My Lord, Thy will be done.
4 My Jesus, as Thou wilt:
All shall be well for me;
Each changing future scene
I gladly trust with Thee.
Straight to my home above,
I travel calmly on,
And sing in life or death,
My Lord, Thy will be done.

Benjamin Schmolke 1716 Tr. by Jane Borthwick 1853
