Sweet Peace

by Mormon Tabernacle Choir

on Peace Like a River (2004)

When long days lay down dying
And Evensong is nigh,
The bell across the valley
Rings out this ancient cry:

"Come, rest from all your labors,
Let Him your burdens bear,
Come hasten 'cross the valley,
And bring Him ev'ry care."

That bell forged by my fathers
Sings out its steady song;
And as it rings I'm making
My joyful way along.

And though I pass through sorrow,
My spirit still soars free;
For in that bell I hear Him -
He speaks sweet peace to me.
