Author: James Allen, 1734-1804; Walter Shirley, 1725-1786 Hymnal: Christian Worship #400 (2021) Meter: 8.7.8.7 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.
2 Here we rest in wonder, viewing
all our sins on Jesus laid;
here we see redemption flowing
from the sacrifice he made.
3 Here we find the dawn of heaven
while upon the cross we gaze,
see our trespasses forgiven,
and our songs of triumph raise.
4 Oh, that, near the cross abiding,
we may to the Savior cleave,
naught with him our hearts dividing,
all for him content to leave!
5 Lord, in loving contemplation
fix our hearts and eyes on you
till we taste your full salvation
and your unveiled glory view. Topics: Lent Scripture: Luke 23:47-49 Languages: English Tune Title: RINGE RECHT
