Conscious of my happiness

Verse 1
Conscious of my happiness,
Peace, unutterable peace
Would I not to all impart,
Peace which now o’reflows my heart,
Makes it tenderly inclin’d,
Draws it out to all mankind!

Verse 2
Blest with my felicity
O that every soul might be,
Feel what real Christians feel,
Joy incomprehensible,
Live the life of those above,
Swallow’d up and lost in love!
