It was written by French Roman Catholic Spiritan (Holy Ghost) priest and composer Lucien Deiss CSSp (1921-2007), and first published in 1965 by World Library Publications.
It is set to an unnamed tune, also by Deiss. This is a chant based setting, changing time signature several times. If it is thought of in the key of Dm, the first few notes if the refrain are A AA cc AG F, with accompanying chords F / Am / Bb / Dm.

Lyrics
The lyrics are copyright so cannot be reproduced here. But they are currently available on this website. A rough outline is:Refrain:
My soul is longing for your peace, near to you my God.
1. Lord, you know that my heart is not proud ...
2. Lofty thoughts have never filled my mind ...
3. In your peace I have maintained my soul ...
4. As a child rests on his mother’s knee ...
5. Israel, put all your hope in God ...
