A steadfast hope, a spotless life,
The power of sin subdued;
The soul refreshed, the inward strength,
From day to day renewed—
This is the blessedness I seek,
Nor let me be denied;
God of my life, but grant me this,
I ask for nought beside.
The things which men call good and great,
Are low in my esteem;
This world’s a shadow at the best,
And life itself a dream.
