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.
2 Truly blessed is the station,
Low before His cross to lie,
While we see divine compassion
Pleading in His pitying eye.
3 For Thy sorrows we adore Thee,
For the griefs that wrought our peace,
Gracious Savior, we implore Thee,
In our hearts Thy love increase.
4 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.
Amen.
