Wonderful Peace (hymn)

494 Wonderful Peace

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.

2 What a treasure I have in this wonderful peace,
   Buried deep in my innermost soul;
   So secure that no power can mine it away,
   While the years of eternity roll! [Chorus]

3 I am resting to-night in this wonderful peace,
   Resting sweetly in Jesus' control;
   I am kept from all danger by night and by day,
   And his glory is flooding my soul. [Chorus]

4 I believe 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 will be, [Chorus]

5 Weary soul, without gladness or comfort or rest,
   Passing down the rough pathway of time!
   Make the Saviour your friend ere the shadows grow dark;
   O accept of this peace so sublime. [Chorus]
