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. O blessed gift! From off the throne There came a living spark; A holy light within me shone, Where all before was dark. 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. 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.

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.
O blessed gift! From off the throne
There came a living spark;
A holy light within me shone,
Where all before was dark.
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.
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.
