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 I stay forever viewing
Mercy streaming in His 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
Floating in His languid eye

4
Here we find our hope of Heaven
While upon the Lamb we gaze
Loving much and much forgiven
Let our hearts o’erflow with praise

5
Oh that near the cross abiding
We may to the Savior cleave
Naught with Him our hearts dividing
All for Him content to leave!

6
Lord in ceaseless contemplation
Fix our hearts and eyes on Thee
Till we taste Thy full salvation
And unveiled Thy glories see

7
For Thy sorrows we adore Thee
For the griefs that wrought our peace
Gracious Savior we implore Thee
In our hearts Thy love increase
