Wonderful Peace
Author: W. D. Cornell, 19th century Appears in 204 hymnals Topics: Peace and Security First Line: Far away in the depths of my spirit tonight Refrain First Line: Peace! Peace! Wonderful peace Lyrics: 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.
Chorus:
Peace! peace! wonderful peace,
Coming down from the Father above,
Sweep over my spirit forever, I pray,
In fathomless billows of love.

Buried deep in the heart of my soul,
So secure that no power can mine it away;
While the years of eternity roll. [Chorus]
3 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. [Chorus]
4 And methinks 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: [Chorus]
5 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 this sweet peace so sublime! [Chorus] Used With Tune: [Far away in the depths of my spirit]
