40. Sweet, Wonderful Peace

1 There’s a peace in my heart, that each day deeper grows,
‘Tis the peace that the world cannot give;
And the joy in my soul, like a blest river flows,
Since the love of my Lord I receive.

Chorus:
O the sweet joy and peace,
That shall ever satisfy the soul!
And this peace, this wonderful peace,
Shall be mine while endless ages roll.

2 O the joy that is mine sweeter grows ev’ry day,
For He gives His sweet peace unto me;
And the clouds disappear, as I press on my way,
To the city far over the sea. [Chorus]

3 Let us live for the Master who gives us the joy
Of a faith that is better than sight,
And a peace that no evil can ever destroy,
Till we enter the city of light. [Chorus]
