The Hallowed Spot

Author: William Hunter Hymnal: Timeless Truths #516 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D 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, Though 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 tossed upon the ocean; Above me was the thunder’s roar, Beneath, the wave’s 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 thought 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.

Author: Rev. Wm. Hunter, D. D. Hymnal: Joy to the World #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]
