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 shall 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;  

Oh, accept this sweet peace so sublime.     

Refrain:  

Peace! Peace! wonderful peace,  

Coming down from the Father above;  

Sweep over my spirit forever, I pray,  

In fathomless billows of love.
