There is a dear and hallowed spot

Author: Anon. Appears in 27 hymnals Lyrics: 1 There is a dear and hallowed spot, Oft present to my eye; By saints it ne'er can be forgot That place is Calvary. 2 O, what a scene was there displayed, Of love and agony, When our Redeemer bowed his head, And died on Calvary! 3 When fainting under guilt's dread load, Unto the cross I'll fly, And trust the merits of the blood That flowed at Calvary. 4 Whene'er I feel temptation's power, On Jesus I'll reply, And in the sharp, conflicting hour, Repair to Calvary. Topics: Christ Sufferings and Death Used With Tune: REMEMBER ME

Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #238 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 There is a dear and hallow'd spot Oft present to my eye; By saints it ne'er can be forgot; That place is Calvary. 2 Oh, what a scene was there display'd Of love and agony, When our Redeemer bow'd His head, And died on Calvary! 3 When fainting under guilt's dread load, Unto the cross I'll fly; And trust the merit of that blood Which flow'd at Calvary. 4 Whene'er I feel temptation's power, On Jesus I'll rely; And, in the sharp, conflicting hour, Repair to Calvary. 5 When seated at the feast of love, Then will I fix mine eye On Him who intercedes above, Who bled on Calvary. 6 When the dark scene of death, the last Momentous hour draws nigh, Then, with my dying eyes, I'll cast A look on Calvary.

Anonymous

Person Name: Anon. Author of "There is a dear and hallowed spot" in The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
