1. There’s peace in my heart tonight,
So sweet, and still, and strong;
And into my life has dawned a light,
Which fills my heart with song.
Peace, peace, wonderful peace,
Peace from the heart of God;
Peace, peace, wonderful peace,
Peace from the heart of God.

2. There’s joy in my heart tonight,
So full, so pure, so deep;
The Father of love hath given to me
The gift of gifts to keep.
Joy, joy, wonderful joy,
Joy in my heart tonight;
Joy, joy, wonderful joy,
Joy in my heart tonight.

3. The Lord to my heart has come;
He deigns to dwell with me;
He cleanses my life from stain of sin
That I like Him may be.
Sing, sing, joyfully sing,
Sing of His love to me,
Sing, sing, joyfully sing,
Sing of His love to me.
