88. 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.

Chorus:
Peace! peace! wonderful peace,
Coming down from the Father above;
Sweep over my spirit forever, I pray,
In fathomless billows of love.

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. [Chorus]

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. [Chorus]

4 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 will be. [Chorus]
