"Oh!" my wretched soul aloud sighed In lamentation over its solitude, For in vain its happiness hangs Thus cannot rest more on earthly bliss. And countless of homilies have I heard More oft than dialy bread From different parsons, pastors, and persons sent, Yet melting merriment merry meet. But just too well too late The Holy Spirit to me spake That the choice is merely mine To seek true hope from Jesus's pouch, That whether in him believe and happiness have By walking faithfully on paradise course Or reject him and eternal regrets get By charging on with lunacy on perdition's Path. Please, let me alone with godly choice To know what joy salvation really brings Through what Christ alone inΒ Β Calvary did By giving what verily matters to the world! And to this new unquenchable truth aligned myself Not to misplace again priorities first; instead Gracefully and obediently walk toward that home, Where my mansion be a stately stead.
