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.
