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
Peace, peace, wonderful peace Coming down from the Father above! Sweep over my spirit forever, I pray In fathomless billows of love!
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!
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!

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 will be
Ah, soul! are you here without comfort and rest Marching down the rough pathway of time? Make Jesus your Friend ere the shadows grow dark O accept of this peace so sublime!
