Wonderful Peace

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.

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 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.
