Wonderful Peace

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.

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!

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.

4

And methinks 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:

5

Ah! soul, are you here without comfort or rest,

Marching down the rough pathway of time?

Make Jesus your friend ere the shadows grow dark;

O accept of His peace so sublime.

CHORUS

Peace, peace, wonderful peace,

Coming down from the Father above!

Sweep over my spirit forever, I pray,

In fathomless billows of love.

This is a new group I have just discovered. I haven't watched any more of their videos, but I'm struck by their precision, not only of the singing and harmonies, but the matching dress suits -- even the ties match -- and absolutely no extraneous physical movement during the performance. All the men have traditional short haircuts even though it's a racially diverse group, and there is a consistency of presentation and strict attention to detail that is not easy to find. 


 Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. ~Isaiah 26:3
