Standing By The Cross....




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
