Sweet the moments, rich in blessing

1

Sweet the moments, rich in blessing,Which before the cross we spend;Life and health and peace possessingFrom the sinner's dying Friend

2

Truly blessed is this station,Low before his cross to lie,While we see divine compassionBeaming in his gracious eye.

3

Here we feel our sins forgiven,While upon the Lamb we gaze;And our thoughts are all of heaven,And our lips o'erflow with praise.

4

While in grateful contemplation,Lord, our eyes are fixed on thee,May we taste thy full salvation,And, unvailed, thy glories see.
