610 ~ Far Away in the Depths of My Spirit

1

Far away in the depths of my spirit tonight, Rolls a melody sweeter than psalm; In celestial strains it unceasingly falls O’er my soul like an infinite calm.


Refrain

Peace! peace! wonderful peace, Coming 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 innermost 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, I am kept from all danger by night and by day, And His glory is flooding my soul!

4

I believe 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 —

5

Weary soul, without gladness or comfort or rest, Passing down the rough pathway of time! Make the Saviour your Friend ere the shadows grow dark; O accept of this peace so sublime.
