Bickersteth was vacationing in Harrogate, England, where he heard a sermon on Isaiah 26:3. The minister related that the Hebrew text used the word peace twice to indicate absolute perfection. The idea was

still on Bickersteth’s mind when he visited a dying relative that afternoon. To soothe the man’s emotional turmoil, Bickersteth opened his Bible to read from Isaiah 26:3. He wrote down these lyrics, just as they appear today, and read them to the man: perhaps the last thing he heard before Jesus called him “to heaven’s perfect peace.”</p>

|
<p>Peace, perfect peace, in this dark world of sin?<br>
|
|
The blood of Jesus whispers peace within.</p>
|
|
<p>Peace, perfect peace, by thronging duties pressed?<br>
|
|
To do the will of Jesus, this is rest.</p>
|
|
<p>Peace, perfect peace, with sorrows surging round?<br>
|
|
On Jesus’ bosom naught but calm is found.</p>
|
|
<p>Peace, perfect peace, with loved ones far away?<br>
|
|
In Jesus’ keeping we are safe, and they.</p>
|
|
<p>Peace, perfect peace, our future all unknown?<br>
|
|
Jesus we know, and He is on the throne.</p>
|
|
<p>Peace, perfect peace, death shadowing us and ours?<br>
|
|
Jesus has vanquished death and all its powers.</p>
|
|
<p>It is enough: earth’s struggles soon shall cease,<br>
|
|
And Jesus call us to heaven’s perfect peace.</p>
