How many souls more worthy far Of that sweet touch of thine! 3 Ah, grace! into unlikeliest hearts It is thy boast to come, The glory of thy light to find In darkest spots a home. 4 The crowd of cares, the weightiest cross, Seem trifles less than light-- Earth looks so little and so low When faith shines full and bright. 5 Oh, happy, happy that I am!
