 1 

There is a certain sense of life

With life of every kind;

And in th' eternal life in us

It is a sense divine.

 
 2 

The higher any life may be,

The better is its sense;

The life divine the highest is

And has the highest sense.

 
 3 

It is the sense of life in us,

It is the sense of God;

'Tis in our spirit made alive,

And more than sense of good.

 
 4 

It is the inner sense in us,

The inmost consciousness,

Discerning matters inwardly,

God's will to thus express.

 
 5 

'Tis by this sense that God we know,

The sense of inner life;

'Tis pow'rful and spontaneous,

And not of any strife.

 
 6 

The greater is our growth in life,

The keener is this sense;

The more we walk and act in life,

The more it is intense.

 
 7 

The sense of life when exercised

Will make our spirit bold,

And by this inner sense of God

True fellowship we hold.
