Perfect peace

516 5th P. M. 4 lines 7s.
Perfect peace.

PRINCE of peace, control my will;
   Bid this struggling heart be still;
   Bid my fears and doubtings cease,-
   Hush my spirit into peace.

2 Thou hast bought me with thy blood,
   0pen’d wide the gate to God:
   Peace I ask—but peace must be,
   Lord, in being one with thee.

3 May thy will, not mine, he done;
   May thy will and mine be one:
   Chase these doubtings from my heart;
   New thy perfect peace impart.

4 Saviour! at thy feet to fall;
   Thou my life, my God, my all!
   Let thy happy servant be
   One forever more with thee!
                        Anon.

Hymnary.org, which attributes it to Mary Ann Serrett Barber, has this to say about the authorship:

The text of this hymn has also been attributed to Mary Dana Shindler, 1810-1853, an American poet and hymn writer. However, the poem first appeared in the March 3, 1838 edition of Church of England Magazine. Mary Ann Serrett Barber, who was born in England, had many of her poems published in this magazine.

Whoever wrote it, it is a marvelous hymn.
