O'er my soul like an infinite calm.

Coming down from the Father above;
Sweep over my spirit forever, I pray,

Buried deep in my innermost soul;
So secure that no power can mine it away,
While the years of eternity roll! [Chorus]

Resting sweetly in Jesus' control;
I am kept from all danger by night and by day,
And his glory is flooding my soul. [Chorus]

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]

Passing down the rough pathway of time!
Make the Saviour your friend ere the shadows grow dark;
O accept of this peace so sublime. [Chorus] Used With Tune: [Far away in the depths of my spirit tonight]

Bright in His kingdom will shine. [Chorus]

Yet shall the armies Thou leadest,
Faithful and true to the last,
Find in Thy mansions eternal
Rest when their warfare is past. [Chorus]
