466. Wonderful Peace

A                            D         A
Far away in the depths of my spirit to-night,

               B7           E
Rolls a melody sweeter than psalm;

   A                            D
In celestial like strains it un-ceasingly falls

        A            E7       A
O’er my soul like an infinite calm.

              D         A
Peace! Peace! wonderful peace,

       Gbm           B7     E
Coming down from the Father above;

      A                  D
Sweep over my spirit for-ever, I pray,

   A          E7         A
In fathomless billows of love.


[[Full Lyrics]]

[Verse 1]
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.

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

[Verse 2]
What a treasure I have in this wonderful peace,
Buried deep in my inner most soul,
So secure that no power can mine it away,
While the years of eternity roll!

[Verse 3]
I believe 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-

[Verse 4]
Weary soul, without gladness or comfort or rest,
Passing down the rough pathway of time!
Make the Savior your friend ere the shadows grow dark;
O accept of this peace so sublime.
