What Heart’s Content Lyrics by Philip Rosseter

A Book of Ayres

0

What heart's content can he find?
What happy sleeps can his eyes embrace that bears a guilty mind?
His taste sweet wines will abhor
No music's sound can appease the thoughts that wicked deeds deplore
The passion of a present fear
Still makes his restless motion there
And all the day he dreads the night
And all the night as one aghast he fears the morning light
But he that loves to be loved
And in his deeds doth adore Heaven's power and is with pity moved
The night gives rest to his heart
The cheerful beams do awake his soul revived in every part
He lives a comfort to his friends
And Heaven to him such blessing sends
That fear of Hell cannot dismay
His steadfast heart that is inured the truth still to obey
