Wonderful Peace

Verse 1

Far away in the depths of my spirit tonight Rolls a melody sweeter than psalm; In celestial-like strains it unceasingly falls O’er my soul like an infinite calm.

Chorus

Peace, peace! wonderful peace, Coming down from the Father above, Sweep over my spirit forever, I pray, In fathomless billows of love.

Verse 2

What a treasure I have in this wonderful peace Buried deep in the heart of my soul, So secure that no power can mine it away While the years of eternity roll.

Verse 3

I am resting tonight in this wonderful peace, Resting sweetly in Jesus’ control, For I’m kept from all danger by night and by day, And His glory is flooding my soul.

Verse 4

And me thinks when I rise to that city of peace Where the Author of peace I shall see, That one strain of the song which the ransomed will sing In that heavenly kingdom shall be:

Verse 5

Ah! soul, are you here without comfort and rest, Marching down the rough pathway of time? Make Jesus your friend ere the shadows grow dark O accept this sweet peace so sublime!
