Refrain: O the blessing that He gave to me, Wondrous blessing of His love so full and free, I will praise Him throughout eternity, For the blessing of His love to me. 2 O my heart was lone and dreary till He came to me, Wondrous Guest and loving Saviour He has proved to be; And my heart is turned to music all the long, bright day; All the shadows that surrounded me have fled away.
