Sweet the moments, rich in blessing   Which before the cross I spend   Life and health and peace possessing   From the sinners only Friend      Here I’ll rest forever viewing   Mercy poured in streams of blood   Precious drops my soul bedewing   Plead and claim my peace with God      Standing by the cross   The cross of Calvary   Looking up to my sweet Jesus   Mercy given full and free      Truly blessed is the station   Low before His cross to lie   While I see divine compassion   Beaming in his gracious eye      Here I feel my sins forgiven   While upon the Lamb I gaze   And my thoughts are all of heaven   And my lips overflow with praise      Standing by the cross   The Cross of Calvary   Looking up to my sweet Jesus   Mercy given full and free
