Author: Walter Shirley, 1725-1786 Hymnal: Hymnal and Order of Service #69a (1901) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Hymnal Title: Hymnal and Order of Service Lyrics: 1 Sweet the moments, rich in blessing,
Which before the cross I spend.
Life and health, and peace possessing,
From the sinner's dying friend.
2 Here I'll sit, forever viewing
Mercy's streams, in streams of blood:
Precious drops, my soul bedewing,
Plead and claim my peace with God.
3 Truly blessed is the station,
Low before His cross to lie;
While I see divine compassion
Beaming in His languid eye.
4 Lord, in ceaseless contemplation
Fix my thankful heart on Thee,
Till I taste Thy full salvation
And Thine unveiled glory see.
Amen. Topics: Lent Languages: English Tune Title: BATTY (RINGE RECHT WENN GOTTES GNADE)
