Peace of conscience to enjoy,
Is a rich perpetual feast;
Carnal joys are mean and poor,
Sorrow is their constant guest:
Day by day discharged from sin,
May I feel a peace within.
If from guilt of sin released,
What have I beside to dread:
When my faith and hope are strong,
I can raise my drooping head:
May it be my daily care,
To preserve a conscience clear.
Many happy grateful thoughts,
Frequent occupy my soul;
Cheerfully I run my race,
Longing to obtain the goal:
be it them my daily care,
That the crown at last I wear.
