Lyics

SWEET the moment, rich in blessing,

Which before, the cross we spend;

Life, and health, and peace possessing,

From the dying sinner's friend;

Hallelujah! hallelujah!

From the dying sinner's friend.



Truly blessed is our station,

Low before his cross we lie;

While we see divine compassion

Beaming in his gracious eye.



Love and grief our hearts dividing,

With our tears his feet we'll bathe;

Constant still, in faith abiding,

Life deriving from his death.



May we still enjoy this feeling,

Still to our Redeemer go,

Prove his wounds each day more healing,

And himself more truly known,

Hallelujah! hallelujah!

From the dying sinner's friend.
