Verse 1:
      G                       C         G
Far a-way in the depths of my spirit to-night
               A            D
Rolls a melody sweeter than psalm
      G                          C
In ce-lestial-like strains it un-ceasingly falls
        G/D          D7       G
O'er my soul like an infinite calm


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


Verse 2:
       G                       C         G
What a treasure I have in this wonderful peace
                   A           D
Buried deep in the heart of my soul
      G                      C
So se-cure that no power can mine it away
          G/D        D7      G
While the years of e-ternity roll


Verse 3:
     G                       C         G
I am resting tonight in this wonderful peace
                   A          D
Resting sweetly in Jesus' con-trol
        G                       C
For I'm kept from all danger by night and by day
        G/D      D7          G
And His glory is flooding my soul


Verse 4:
      G                         C       G
And I think when I rise to that city of peace
                    A             D
Where the Author of peace I shall see
         G                            C
That one strain of the song which the ransomed will sing
        G/D      D7            G
In that heavenly kingdom shall be


Verse 5:
    G                         C           G
Ah, soul are you here without comfort and rest
                        A          D
Marching down the rough pathway of time
     G                         C
Make Jesus your friend ere the shadows grow dark
     G/D                D7           G
O ac-cept of this sweet peace so sub-lime
