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. Refrain 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. Refrain I cannot tell the half of love, Unfeigned, supreme, divine, That caused my darkest inmost self With beams of hope to shine. Refrain 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. Refrain
