Before the Cross

Author: James Allen Appears in 834 hymnals Topics: Christ Sufferings of; Christ Sufferings of First Line: Sweet the moments, rich in blessing Lyrics: 1 Sweet the moments, rich in blessing, Which before the cross we spend; Life, and health, and peace possessing, From the sinner's dying Friend. Truly blessed is this station, Low before his cross to lie, While we see divine compassion, Beaming in his gracious eye. 2 Love and grief our hearts dividing, With our tears his feet we bathe; Constant still, in faith abiding, Life deriving from his death. For thy sorrows we adore thee, For the pains that wrought our peace, Gracious Saviour! we implore thee In our souls thy love increase. 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. Still in ceaseless contemplation, Fix our hearts and eyes on thee, Till we taste thy full salvation, And, unvailed, thy glories see. Used With Tune: ARMSTRONG

O who am I, that for my sake my Lord should take frail flesh and die? 2 He came from his blest throne, salvation to bestow; but men cared not, and none the longed-for Christ would know. But oh, my Friend, my Friend indeed, who at my need his life did spend! 3 Sometimes they strew his way, and his sweet praises sing; resounding all the day hosannas to their King. Then “Crucify!” is all their breath, and for his death they thirst and cry. 4 Why, what hath my Lord done? What makes this rage and spite? He made the lame to run, he gave the blind their sight. Sweet injuries! Yet all his deeds their hatred feeds; they 'gainst him rise. 5 They rise, and needs will have my dear Lord sent away; a murderer they save, the Prince of Life they slay. Yet willing he to suff'ring goes, that he his foes from thence might free. 6 In life, no house, no home my Lord on earth might have; in death, no friendly tomb but what a stranger gave. What may I say? Heav'n was his home, but mine the tomb wherein he lay. 7 Here might I stay and sing, no story so divine; never was love, dear King, never was grief like thine. This is my Friend, in whose sweet praise I all my days could gladly spend. Scripture: Isaiah 53 Used With Tune: LOVE UNKNOWN
