The Hallowed Spot

Author: Rev. Wm. Hunter, D. D. Appears in 98 hymnals 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. Used With Tune: [There is a spot to me more dear]

I've found a Friend

Author: Anon. Appears in 392 hymnals First Line: I've found a friend, oh, such a friend! Lyrics: 1 I've found a friend, oh, such a friend!

And 'round my heart still closely twine Those ties which naught can sever, For I am his and he is mine Forever and forever. 2 I've found a friend, oh, such a friend! He bled, he died to save me; And not alone the gift of life, But his own self he gave me. Naught that I have my own I call, I hold it for the Giver; My heart, my strength, my life, my all, Are his, and his forever. 3 I've found a friend, oh, such a friend! All power to him is given To guard me in my onward course, And bring me safe to Heaven. Th' eternal glories gleam afar To nerve my faint endeavor; So now to watch, to work, to war, And then to rest forever. 4 I've found a friend, oh, such a friend! So kind, so true, and tender, So wise a counselor and Guide, So mighty a defender. From him who loves me now so well What power my soul can sever? Shall life or death, or earth, or hell? No, I am his forever. Used With Tune: [I've found a friend, oh, such a friend!]
