Hymnal: Church Hymn Book #CCLXXXVI (1816) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: Church Hymn Book Lyrics: 1 Happy the soul where grace resides!
Where wisdom governs, rules & guides;
It regulates the course of life
In all afflictions, war and strife.
2 The souls that know the Savior's name,
Toil not for wealth or empty fame;
Content with raiment, health and food,
They seek a closer walk with God.
3 The greatest comfort such can find,
Is to possess the Saviour's mind;
The world with all its great esteem,
Is like as filth and dross with them.
4 The greatest object in their view,
Is their bless'd Father's will to do:
To love and serve their fellow-men,
And do them all the good they can.
5 How highly would my soul be bless'd!
To be with such a mind possess'd;
To spend my life and all my days
Thus walking in my Saviour's ways.
