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.
