1 I’ve a very precious blessing in my soul today,
And it fills me with thanksgiving while I kneel to pray;
‘Tis a deeper sense of dwelling in my Saviour’s love,
An outpouring of His Holy Spirit from above.

Refrain:
O the blessing that He gave to me,
Wondrous blessing of His love so full and free,
I will praise Him throughout eternity,
For the blessing of His love to me.

2 O my heart was lone and dreary till He came to me,
Wondrous Guest and loving Saviour He has proved to be;
And my heart is turned to music all the long, bright day;
All the shadows that surrounded me have fled away. [Refrain]

3 When earth’s twilight softly falleth o’er each well-loved scene,
And I wake to day immortal with no veil between;
When the glory of the heavn’nly breaks upon my sight,
All the clouds of earth will vanish in that perfect light. [Refrain]
