Hymn of the Week: Wonderful Peace

"Far away in the depths of my spirit tonight rolls a melody sweeter than psalm...." For those with troubles, cares, or problems, this song reminds us that if we are in Christ, we can have the wonderful peace that passes all understanding from the Prince of Peace Himself. Meditate on the song and study what the Scriptures say about the peace that ONLY God can give.

Wonderful Peace (words by Warren D. Cornell)

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!

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!

Refrain

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!

Refrain

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:

Refrain

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 of this peace so sublime!

Refrain

I happened across your blog while looking for the lyrics to this great hymn. I am most interested and have read several entries. I will return when I have more time for reading. Keep it up my brother in Christ.
