Lyrics

Coming to Je­sus, my Sav­ior, I found
Wonderful peace, won­der­ful peace;
Storms in their fu­ry may rage all around,
I have peace, sweet peace.

Refrain

Peace, peace, won­der­ful peace,
Peace, peace, glo­ri­ous peace;
Since my Re­deem­er has ran­somed my soul,
I have peace, sweet peace.

Peace like a riv­er, so deep and so broad,
Wonderful peace, won­der­ful peace;
Resting my soul on the bo­som of God,
I have peace, sweet peace.

Refrain

Peace like a ho­ly and in­fi­nite calm,
Wonderful peace, won­der­ful peace,
Like to the strains of an ev­en­ing psalm,
I have peace, sweet peace.

Refrain

Gone is the bat­tle that once raged with­in,
Wonderful peace, won­der­ful peace;
Jesus has saved me and cleansed me from sin,
I have peace, sweet peace.
