<div class="lyrics">
|
|
<p>Far away in the depths of my spirit tonight<br>
|
|
Rolls a melody sweeter than psalm;<br>
|
|
In celestial strains it unceasingly falls<br>
|
|
O’er my soul like an infinite calm.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Peace, peace, wonderful peace,<br>
|
|
Coming down from the Father above!<br>
|
|
Sweep over my spirit forever, I pray<br>
|
|
In fathomless billows of love!</p>
|
|
<p>What a treasure I have in this wonderful peace,<br>
|
|
Buried deep in the heart of my soul,<br>
|
|
So secure that no power can mine it away,<br>
|
|
While the years of eternity roll!</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>I am resting tonight in this wonderful peace,<br>
|
|
Resting sweetly in Jesus’ control;<br>
|
|
For I’m kept from all danger by night and by day,<br>
|
|
And His glory is flooding my soul!</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>And I think when I rise to that city of peace,<br>
|
|
Where the Anchor of peace I shall see,<br>
|
|
That one strain of the song which the ransomed will sing<br>
|
|
In that heavenly kingdom will be:</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>Ah, soul! are you here without comfort and rest,<br>
|
|
Marching down the rough pathway of time?<br>
|
|
Make Jesus your Friend ere the shadows grow dark;<br>
|
|
O accept of this peace so sublime!</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
