Wonderful Peace

Author: W. D. Cornell Appears in 220 hymnals Topics: Evening hymns First Line: Far away in the depths of my spirit tonight Refrain First Line: Peace! peace! wonderful peace Lyrics: 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 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: (Chorus) 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. (Chorus) Used With Tune: [Far away in the depths of my spirit tonight]

To Your Temple, Lord, I Come

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 302 hymnals Topics: Evening hymns Lyrics: 1 To your temple, Lord, I come, for it is my worship home. This earth has no better place, here I see my Savior's face. 2 While your glorious praise is sung, touch my lips, unloose my tongue that my joyful soul may bless Christ the Lord, my righteousness. 3 While the prayers of saints ascend, God of love, to mine attend. Hear me, for your Spirit pleads; hear, for Jesus intercedes. 4 While your ministers proclaim peace and pardon in your name, through their voice, by faith, may I hear you speaking from the sky. 5 From your house when I return, may my heart within me burn, and at evening let me say, "I have walked with God today."

Author: Anna Warner Appears in 135 hymnals Topics: Hymns for Worship Evening Hymns Lyrics: 1 One more day's work for Jesus, One less of life for me; But heav'n is nearer, And Christ is dearer, Than yesterday to me; His love and light Fill all my soul tonight. Chorus: One more day's work for Jesus, One more day's work for Jesus, One more day's work for Jesus, One less of life for me. 2 One more day's work for Jesus; How glorious is my King! 'Tis joy, not duty, To speak his beauty; My soul mounts on the wing At the mere tho't How Christ my life has bought. [Chorus] 3 One more day's work for Jesus; How sweet the work has been, To tell the story, To show the glory Where Christ's flock enter in! How it did shine In this poor heart of mine! [Chorus] 4 One more day's work for Jesus, O yes, a weary day; But heav'n shines clearer, And rest comes nearer, At each step of the way; And Christ in all Before his face I fall. [Chorus] 5 O blessed work for Jesus! O rest at Jesus' feet! There toil seems pleasure, My wants are treasure, And pain for him is sweet; Lord, if I may, I'll serve another day. [Chorus] Used With Tune: [One more day's work for Jesus]
