|
| 1 | Sweet the moments which, in blessing, |
| Musing o'er the cross we spend; |
| Life and health and peace possessing |
| From the dying sinner's Friend. |
|
| 2 | Here we rest—in wonder viewing | Isaiah 53:4-8; Hebrews 9:12 |
| All our guilt on Jesus laid! |
| And a full redemption flowing |
| From the sacrifice He made. |
|
| 3 | Here we find the dawn of heaven, | Colossians 2:13 |
| While upon the Lamb we gaze, |
| See our trespasses forgiven, |
| And our songs of triumph raise. |
|
| 4 | Oh! that strong in faith abiding, | Romans 4:20; Acts 11:23; Philippians 3:8 |
| We may to the Saviour cleave, |
| Naught with Him our hearts dividing, |
| All for Him content to leave. |
|
| 5 | May we still, God's mind discerning, | Romans 12:2; Colossians 2:3; 1 Peter 1:3 |
| To the Lamb for wisdom go: |
| There new wonders daily learning, |
| All the depths of mercy know. |
