Hidden Peace

Author: John S. Brown Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #2404 First Line: I cannot tell thee whence it came Refrain First Line: There's a deep, settled peace in my soul Lyrics: 1. 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. 2. 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] 3. I cannot tell the half of love, Unfeigned, supreme, divine, That caused my darkest inmost self With beams of hope to shine. [Refrain] 4. 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] Languages: English Tune Title: [I cannot tell thee whence it came]
