Lyrics

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.
