The peace of a perfect trust

Oh for the peace of a perfect trust, My loving God in Thee

Unwavering faith that never doubts Thy choice is best for me.

Best, tho my plans be set at naught; Best tho the way be rough;

Best thou my earthly store be scant- In thee I have enough.

And e'en tho disappointments come, They, too are best for me,

To wean me from this changing world, And lead me nearer Thee.

Oh for the peace of a perfect trust, That looks away from all,

Yet sees Thy hand in everything, In great events and small.

That hears Thy voice, a father's voice, directing for the best;

Oh, for the peace of a perfect trust, a heart with Thee at rest.
