LyicsSWEET 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 in 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 know.
