Author: Walter Shirley Appears in 828 hymnals 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.
Love and grief my heart dividing,
With my tears his feet I'd bathe;
Constant still in faith abiding,
Life deriving from His death,
Life deriving from His death.
2 Truly blessèd is this station--
Low before His cross to lie;
While I see divine compassion
Beaming in His gracious eye.
Here I'll sit, forever viewing
Mercy streaming in His blood:
Precious drops, my soul bedewing,
Plead and claim my peace with God,
Please and claim my peace with God.
Amen.
