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.
