I cannot tell thee whence it came,
This peace within my breast;
But this I know, there fills my soul
A strange and tranquil rest.
There’s a deep,
settled peace in my soul,
There’s a deep,
settled peace in my soul,
Tho’ the billows
of sin near me roll,
He abides, Christ abides.
Beneath the toil and care of life,
This hidden stream flows on;
My weary soul no longer thirsts,
Nor am I sad and lone.
There’s a deep,
settled peace in my soul,
There’s a deep,
settled peace in my soul,
Tho’ the billows
of sin near me roll,
He abides, Christ abides.
I cannot tell the half of love,
Unfeigned, supreme, divine,
That caused my darkest inmost self
With beams of hope to shine.
There’s a deep,
settled peace in my soul,
There’s a deep,
settled peace in my soul,
Tho’ the billows
of sin near me roll,
He abides, Christ abides.
I cannot tell thee why He chose
To suffer and to die,
But if I suffer here with Him
I’ll reign with Him on high.
There’s a deep,
settled peace in my soul,
There’s a deep,
settled peace in my soul,
Tho’ the billows
of sin near me roll,
He abides, Christ abides.
