Verse 1:
      Gb                       B         Gb
Far a-way in the depths of my spirit to-night
               Ab            Db
Rolls a melody sweeter than psalm
      Gb                          B
In ce-lestial-like strains it un-ceasingly falls
        Gb/Db          Db7       Gb
O'er my soul like an infinite calm


Chorus:
Gb      Gb/Bb  B         Gb
Peace, peace,wonderful peace
       Ebm            Ab        Db
Coming down from the Father a-bove
      Gb                  B
Sweep over my spirit for-ever, I pray
   Gb/Db        Db          Gb
In fathomless billows of love


Verse 2:
       Gb                       B         Gb
What a treasure I have in this wonderful peace
                   Ab           Db
Buried deep in the heart of my soul
      Gb                      B
So se-cure that no power can mine it away
          Gb/Db        Db7      Gb
While the years of e-ternity roll


Verse 3:
     Gb                       B         Gb
I am resting tonight in this wonderful peace
                   Ab          Db
Resting sweetly in Jesus' con-trol
        Gb                       B
For I'm kept from all danger by night and by day
        Gb/Db      Db7          Gb
And His glory is flooding my soul


Verse 4:
      Gb                         B       Gb
And I think when I rise to that city of peace
                    Ab             Db
Where the Author of peace I shall see
         Gb                            B
That one strain of the song which the ransomed will sing
        Gb/Db      Db7            Gb
In that heavenly kingdom shall be


Verse 5:
    Gb                         B           Gb
Ah, soul are you here without comfort and rest
                        Ab          Db
Marching down the rough pathway of time
     Gb                         B
Make Jesus your friend ere the shadows grow dark
     Gb/Db                Db7           Gb
O ac-cept of this sweet peace so sub-lime
