Key: C
Verse 1:
      C                       F         C
Far a-way in the depths of my spirit to-night
               D            G
Rolls a melody sweeter than psalm
      C                          F
In ce-lestial-like strains it un-ceasingly falls
        C/G          G7       C
O'er my soul like an infinite calm


Chorus:
C      C/E  F         C
Peace, peace,wonderful peace
       Am            D        G
Coming down from the Father a-bove
      C                  F
Sweep over my spirit for-ever, I pray
   C/G        G          C
In fathomless billows of love


Verse 2:
       C                       F         C
What a treasure I have in this wonderful peace
                   D           G
Buried deep in the heart of my soul
      C                      F
So se-cure that no power can mine it away
          C/G        G7      C
While the years of e-ternity roll


Verse 3:
     C                       F         C
I am resting tonight in this wonderful peace
                   D          G
Resting sweetly in Jesus' con-trol
        C                       F
For I'm kept from all danger by night and by day
        C/G      G7          C
And His glory is flooding my soul


Verse 4:
      C                         F       C
And I think when I rise to that city of peace
                    D             G
Where the Author of peace I shall see
         C                            F
That one strain of the song which the ransomed will sing
        C/G      G7            C
In that heavenly kingdom shall be


Verse 5:
    C                         F           C
Ah, soul are you here without comfort and rest
                        D          G
Marching down the rough pathway of time
     C                         F
Make Jesus your friend ere the shadows grow dark
     C/G                G7           C
O ac-cept of this sweet peace so sub-lime
