Hidden Peace

I can­not tell thee whence it came

This peace with­in my breast;

But this I know

there fills my soul

A strange and tran­quil rest.

There’s a deep

set­tled peace in my soul

There’s a deep

set­tled peace in my soul

Tho’ the bil­lows of sin near me roll

He abides

Christ abides.

Beneath the toil and care of life

This hid­den stream flows on;

My wea­ry soul no long­er thirsts

Nor am I sad and lone.

I can­not tell the half of love

Unfeigned

su­preme

di­vine

That caused my dark­est in­most self

With beams of hope to shine.

I can­not tell thee why He chose

To suf­fer and to die

But if I suf­fer here with Him

I’ll reign with Him on high.
