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. (Refrain) 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. (Refrain) 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: (Refrain) 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) Used With Tune: [Far away in the depths of my spirit tonight]
