Hymn 222 WONDERFUL PEACE Lyrics
1. Far away in the depths of my spirit
tonight Rolls a melody sweeter than psalm;
In celestial like strains unceasingly falls
O’er my soul like an infinite calm.
Chorus:
Peace! Peace! Wonderful peace.
Coning 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.
3. I am resting tonight in this wonderful peace,
Resting sweetly in Jesus’ control;
For I’m kept from all danger by night by day.
And His glory is flooding my soul.
4. And me-thinks when I rise to that city of peace,
Where the Author of peace Ishall see.
That one strain of the song which the ransomed will sing,
In that heavenly kingdom shall be.
5. Ah! Souls are you without comfort or rest
Marching down the rough pathway of time?
Make Jesus your friend ere the shadows grow dark;
Oh accept this sweet peace so sublime.
