The hallowed spot

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.
