Wonderful Peace

Author: W. D. Cornell Appears in 220 hymnals Topics: The Christian Life Contentment and Peace 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. Refrain: 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. [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 I think 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]

O Lord, My God, Most Earnestly

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 21 hymnals Topics: Contentment Lyrics: 1 O Lord, my God, most earnestly My heart would seek Thy face, Within Thy holy house once more To see Thy glorious grace. 2 Apart from Thee I long and thirst, And nought can satisfy; I wander in a desert land Where all the streams are dry. 3 The loving kindness of my God Is more than life to me; So I will bless Thee while I live And lift my prayer to Thee. 4 In Thee my soul is satisfied, My darkness turns to light, And joyful meditations fill The watches of the night. 5 My Saviour, 'neath Thy sheltering wings My soul delights to dwell; Still closer to Thy side I press, For near Thee all is well.

Our Master

Author: John M. Neale Appears in 653 hymnals Topics: Contentment; Contentment First Line: Art thou weary, art thou languid Lyrics: 1 Art thou weary, art thou languid, Art thou sore distressed? "Come to me," saith One, "and coming, Be at rest." 2 Hath he marks to lead me to him, If he be my Guide? "In his feet and hands are wound-prints, And his side." 3 Is there diadem, as Monarch, That his brow adorns? "Yes, a crown, in very surety; But of thorns." 4 If I find him, if I follow, What his guerdon here? "Many a sorrow, many a labor, Many a tear." 5 If I still hold closely to him, What hath he at last? "Sorrow vanquished, labor ended, Jordan passed." 6 If I ask him to receive me, Will he say me nay? "Not till earth, and not till heaven Pass away." 7 Finding, following, keeping, struggling, Is he sure to bless? "Saints, apostles, prophets, martyrs, Answer, Yes." Used With Tune: STEPHANOS

How Tedious and Tasteless the Hours

Author: John Newton, 1725-1807 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 649 hymnals Topics: Contentment Lyrics: 1 How tedious and tasteless the hours When Jesus no longer I see! Sweet prospects, sweet birds, and sweet flow'rs, Have all lost their sweetness to me. The midsummer sun shines but dim; The fields strive in vain to look gay; But when I am happy in Him, December's as pleasant as May. 2 His name yields the richest perfume, And sweeter than music His voice; His presence disperses my gloom, And makes all within me rejoice; I should, were He always thus nigh, Have nothing to wish or to fear; No mortal so happy as I; My summer would last all the year. 3 Content with beholding His face, My all to His pleasure resigned, No changes of seasons or place Would make any change in my mind. While blest with a sense of His love, A palace a toy would appear; And prisons would palaces prove, If Jesus would dwell with me there. 4 Dear Lord, if indeed I am Thine, If Thou art my sun and my song, Say, why do I languish and pine? And why are my winter so long? O drive these dark clouds from my sky; Thy soul-cheering presence restore, Or take me unto Thee on high, Where winter and clouds are no more. Scripture: Zechariah 10:2 Used With Tune: DE FLEURY
