Sweet the moments, rich blessing,
Which before the cross I spend;
Life and health and peace possessing
From the sinner’s dying Friend.

Truly blessed is the station,
Low before Thy cross to lie,
Seeing, Lord, divine compassion
Beaming in Thy gracious eye!

Here we rest, our sins forgiven,
Here upon the Lamb we gaze,
And we find the dawn of heaven,
While our hearts overflow with praise!

For Thy sorrows we adore Thee,
For the pains that wrought our peace!
Gracious Saviour! we implore Thee,
In our souls Thy love increase!

Still, in ceaseless contemplation,
Fix, O Lord, our hearts on Thee,
Till we taste Thy full salvation,
And Thy unvailed glories see!
