Lyrics
This holy hour, so sweet to me
Is fraught with blessings manifold
On bended knee I dream and seem to see
My Saviour’s face, His smile behold
With hands out-stretch’d, my eyes I raise
To Him whose death the world redeem’d
My voice breaks out in glorious praise
On me his kind eyes beam
O wondrous Saviour, precious Friend
Who bought our souls at such a cost
I hail Thee, now, and to the last glad end
I’ll bear the Cross
Thy Cross! I’ll bear the Cross
