Hymns - Tis Better Felt Than Told - Текст песни

1. Blest was the hour that heav'nly fire
 Lit up my darkened soul;
 A heavy load, by Jesus' pow'r,
 Did from my bosom roll.
 * Refrain:
 While at the mercy-seat I knelt,
 My Lord I did behold;
 No tongue can tell the joy I felt?
 'Tis better felt than told.
 2. O blessed gift! From off the throne
 There came a living spark;
 A holy light within me shone,
 Where all before was dark.
 3. O holy light! still shine on me
 Sweet rays of heav'nly love;
 Naught else but thee, oh, let me see,
 Till crowned in heav'n above.
 4. Oh, let me feel, from day to day
 His presence still so near;
 A holy light to mark the way,
 While I shall sojourn here.
