There is a spot to me more dear |

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. 'T is not where kindred souls abound Though that on earth is heaven, But where I first my Saviour found, And felt my sins forgiven. Hard was my toil to reach the shore, Long tossed upon the ocean; Above me was the thunder's roar, Beneath, the waves' commotion. Darkly the pall of night was thrown Around me, faint with terror; In that dark hour how did my goran Ascend for years of error! Sinking and panting as for breath, I knew not help was near me, And cried, "O save me, Lord, from death! Immortal Jesus, hear me!" Then, quick as thought, I felt him mine My Saviour stood before me; I saw his brightness round me shine, And shouted, "Glory, glory!" 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. |
