1 Far away in the depths of my spirit tonight
Rolls a melody sweeter than psalm;
In celestial 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 today in this wonderful peace,
Resting sweetly in Jesus' control;
And I'm kept from all danger by night and by day,
Now His glory is flooding my soul. (Refrain)
4 And I know when I rise to that City of peace,
Where the Author of peace I shall see,
That one of the anthems the ransomed will sing,
In that heavenly kingdom shall be: (Refrain)
5 O soul, are you here without comfort or rest,
Walking down the rough pathway of time?
Make Jesus your friend ere the shadows grow dark;
O, accept this sweet peace so sublime. (Refrain)
