Peace I leave with you; My peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
John 14:27

Like radiant sunshine that comes after rain,
Like beautiful rest after sorrow and pain,
Like hope that is kindled returning again,
Is the wonderful peace of my Savior.
Refrain
Wonderful peace, beautiful peace,
Wonderful peace of my Savior;
There’s nothing on earth can such gladness impart,
As this wonderful peace of my Savior.
So soft and refreshing, as sweet as the dew,
A promise that cannot be broken to you;
A light that will shine all the long journey thro’,
Is the wonderful peace of my Savior.
Refrain
It brightens earth’s darkness and banishes care,
And helps you to carry the burdens you bear;
A refuge in trouble, your sorrows to share,
Is the wonderful peace of my Savior.
Refrain
A guardian in danger where evil is rife,
A mighty defender in conflict and strife,
A beautiful guide to that heavenly life,
Is the wonderful peace of my Savior.
