Tune: | BATTY |
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 we rest in wonder, viewing
All our sins on Jesus laid;
Here we see redemption flowing
From the sacrifice He made.
3 Here we find the dawn of heaven,
While upon the Cross we gaze;
See our trespasses forgiven,
And our songs of triumph raise.
4 O that near the Cross abiding,
We may to the Saviour cleave,
Naught with Him our hearts dividing,
All for Him content to leave.
Amen.
