Lyics

WHAT 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.
