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 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.


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