Verse 1:
G+G C majorC G+G
Far away in the depths of my spirit tonight
A7A7 D MajorD
Rolls a melody sweeter than psalm;
G+G C majorC G+G
In celestial-like strains it unceasingly falls
D7D7 G+G
O’er my soul like an infinite calm.
Chorus:
G+G C majorC G+G
Peace, peace, wonderful peace,
E minorEm A7A7 D MajorD
Coming down from the Father above!

Sweep over my spirit forever, I pray
D7D7 G+G
In fathomless billows of love!
Verse 2:
G+G C majorC G+G
What a treasure I have in this wonderful peace,

Buried deep in the heart of my soul,
G+G C majorC G+G
So secure that no power can mine it away,
D7D7 G+G
While the years of eternity roll!
Verse 3:
G+G C majorC G+G
I am resting tonight in this wonderful peace,

For I’m kept from all danger by night and by day,
D7D7 G+G
And His glory is flooding my soul!
Verse 4:
G+G C majorC G+G
And I think when I rise to that city of peace,

That one strain of the song which the ransomed will sing
D7D7 G+G
In that heavenly kingdom will be!
Verse 5:
G+G C majorC G+G
Ah soul, are you here without comfort and rest,
A7A7 D MajorD
Marching down the rough pathway of time?
G+G C majorC G+G
Make Jesus your friend ere the shadows grow dark;
D7D7 G+G
Oh, accept this sweet peace so sublime!
