THE HEART OF CONSECRATION
(Phillips Brooks)

Wherein the Christian's fullest joy?
Where lies the gold without alloy?
'Tis hidden in the heart's deep well,
A bliss no spoken word may tell.

Where lies the peace that God bestows
As healing balm for all our woes?
The heart-throbs, tell the answer true,
In calm that fills us through and through.
