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 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.
