Contentment

My Lord, how full of sweet content
I pass my years of banishment!
Where e'er I dwell, I dwell with Thee,
In heaven, in earth, or on the sea.

To me remains nor place nor time,

My country is in every clime;

I can be calm and free from care

On any shore, since God is there.

While place I seek, or place I shun,
The soul finds happiness in none;
But with my God to guide my way,
Tis equal joy, to go or stay.

-- Jeanne Guyon
