The Hallowed Spot

Author: Rev. Wm. Hunter, D. D. Hymnal: JW1878 #41 (1879) First Line: There is a spot to me more dear Lyrics: 1 There is a spot to me more dear, Than native vale or mountain; A spot for which affection's tear Springs grateful from its fountain. 'Tis not where kindred souls abound, Tho' that is almost heaven, But where I first my Savior found. And felt my sins forgiven. 2 Hard was my toil to reach the shore, Long toss'd upon the ocean; Above me was the thunders roar, Beneath, the waves' commotion. Darkly the pall of night was thrown Around me faint with terror; In that dark hour how did my groan Ascend for years of error. 3 Sinking and panting as for breath I knew not help was near me; I cried, "Oh, save me, Lord, from death, Immortal Jesus, hear me." Then quick as tho't I felt him mine, My Savior stood before me; I saw his brightness round me shine, And shouted "GLORY, GLORY." 4 O sacred hour! O hallowed spot! Where love divine first found me; Wherever falls my distant lot My heart shall linger round thee. And when from earth I rise, to soar Up to my home in heaven, Down will I cast my eyes once more, Where I was first forgiven. Languages: English Tune Title: [There is a spot to me more dear]

[Refrain] 3 That voice now is hushed which once guided my way, The form I then pressed is now mingling with clay; But the tones of my child still resound in my ear, The voice of my darling how distinctly I hear; "I'm calling you, father! tossed on life's sea, And on a bright shore I am waiting for thee." [Refrain] 4 I remember that voice in the oft lonely hour, It comes to my heart with fresh beauty and power, And still echoes far out over life's troubled wave, And sounds from the loved lips that lie in the grave: "Come this way, my father! steer straight for me, Here safely in Heav'n I am waiting for thee." [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [I remember a voice which once guided my way]

Amsterdam
