Hymnal ‎#84

84. Sweet the moments, rich in blessing

1 Sweet the moments, rich in blessing,
Which before the Cross I spend,
Life, and health, and peace possessing,
From the sinner's dying Friend.

2 Here I'll sit for ever viewing
Mercie's strems in streams of Blood:
Precious drops, my soul bedewing,
Plead, and claim my peace with God.

3 Truly blessèd is the station,
Low before His Cross to lie,
While I see divine compassion
Pleading in His languid eye.

5 Lord, in ceaseless contemplation
Fix my thankful heart on Thee,
Till I taste Thy full salvation
And Thine unveiled gloriy see.
