A Good Conscience a Source of Joy

For our reason for confidence is this: the testimony of our conscience, that with pure motives and sincerity which are from God – not by human wisdom but by the grace of God – we conducted ourselves in the world, and all the more toward you. [2 Cor 1:12 NET]

O happy soul, that lives on high,

While men lie grovelling here;

Whose hopes are fix’d above the sky,

And faith forbids his fear.

His conscience cleans’d from all his sins,

Love, peace, and joy combine

To form a life whose holy springs

Are hidden and divine.
