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.
