466. Wonderful Peace

Db                           Gb        Db
Far away in the depths of my spirit to-night,

               Eb7          Ab
Rolls a melody sweeter than psalm;

   Db                           Gb
In celestial like strains it un-ceasingly falls

        Db           Ab7      Db
O’er my soul like an infinite calm.

              Gb        Db
Peace! Peace! wonderful peace,

       Bbm           Eb7    Ab
Coming down from the Father above;

      Db                 Gb
Sweep over my spirit for-ever, I pray,

   Db         Ab7        Db
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.
