| Text: | Sweet the moments, rich in blessing |
| Tune: | BATTY |
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 rest forever viewing
Mercy poured in streams of blood:
Precious drops, my soul bedewing,
Plead, and claim my peace with God.
3 Truly blessed is the station,
Low before His Cross to lie;
Whilst I see divine compassion
Beaming in His languid eye.
4 Lord, in ceaseless contemplation
Fix my thankful heart on Thee,
Till I taste Thy full salvation,
And Thine unveil'd glory see.
Amen.
