- 1Far away in the depths of my spirit tonightRolls a melody sweeter than psalm;In celestial-like strains it unceasingly fallsO'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!
- 2What 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!Peace!, Peace!, Wonderful peace,Coming down from the Father above!Sweep over my spirit forever, I pray,In fathomless billows of love!
- 3I am resting tonight on this wonderful peace,Resting sweetly inJesus’ contol;For I’m kept from all danger by night and by day,And His glory is flooding my soul.Peace!, Peace!, Wonderful peace,Coming down from the Father above!Sweep over my spirit forever, I pray,In fathomless billows of love!
- 4And 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 singIn that heavenly kingdom will be.Peace!, Peace!, Wonderful peace,Coming down from the Father above!Sweep over my spirit forever, I pray,In fathomless billows of love!
- 5Ah! Soul, you are here without comfort or rest,Marching down the rough pathway of time!Make Jesus your friend ere the shadows grow dark;O, accept of this peace so sublime.Peace!, Peace!, Wonderful peace,Coming down from the Father above!Sweep over my spirit forever, I pray,In fathomless billows of love!
