Wonderful Peace (Cornell)

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.

Peace

peace

won­der­ful peace

Coming down from the Fa­ther above!

Sweep ov­er my spir­it for­ev­er

I pray

In fa­thom­less bil­lows of love!

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!

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!

And I think when I rise

To that ci­ty of peace

Where the an­chor of peace I shall see

That one strain of the song

Which the ran­somed will sing

In that heav­en­ly king­dom will be:

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!
