LyicsWHAT care I for fame's opinion?
Love, love is mine;
Scorn and hate have lost dominion,
Love, love is mine;
Anger's bonds no more enslave me,
Jesus died, in love, to save me,
And his Spirit freely gave me;
Love, love is mine.
In my heart is Jesus reigning,
Joy, joy is mine;
Banished thence is all complaining,
Joy, joy is mine;
Wrath no more can round me hover,
Dark despair my future cover,
All my fears and doubts are over;
Joy, joy is mine.
As a fruit of promised Spirit,
Peace, peace is mine,
Which the pure in heart inherit,
Peace, peace is mine-
Peace at morn, and peace at even;
All my sins have been forgiven,
'Tis a foretaste here of heaven;
Peace, peace is mine.
