1 Like radiant sunshine that comes after rain,
Like beautiful rest after sorrow and pain,
like hope that is kindled returning again,
Is the wonderful peace of my Saviour.
Refrain:
Wonderful peace, beautiful peace,
Wonderful peace of my Saviour;
There’s nothing on earth can such gladness impart
As this wonderful peace of my Saviour.
2 So soft and refreshing, as sweet as the dew,
A promise that cannot be broken to you;
A light that will shine all the long journey through,
Is the wonderful peace of my Saviour. [Refrain]
3 It brightens earth’s darkness and banishes care,
And helps you to carry the burdens you bear;
A refuge in trouble, your sorrows to share,
Is the wonderful peace of my Saviour. [Refrain]
4 A guardian in danger where evil is rife,
A mighty defender in conflict and strife,
A beautiful guide to that heavenly life,
Is the wonderful peace of my Saviour. [Refrain]
