WONDERFUL PEACE

Far away in the depth 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.

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.

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.

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

Ah Soul, are you here without
comfort and rest,
Marching down the rough pathways of time?
Make Jesus your friend
ere the shadows grow dark;
Oh, accept this sweet peace so sublime.
