Walter Shirley, 1774 (1st verse) Christian Harmony, 1958 (2nd verse) Meter 8s,7s Double (8,7,8,7,8,7,8,7) Sweet the moments, rich in blessing, Which before the cross I spend, Life and health, and peace possessing, From the sinner's dying friend. 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. Had I heart to hold its pleasure, Had I tongue to tell its bliss; Could I share with all my treasure, O that all my friends were his, Nothing else could quite so charm me, Now my ev'ry idol hold. Satan now no more can harm me, I've a home in realms of gold. http://texasfasola.org/resources/index/poetry/054a.html Tune has some similarity to "Shall we gather by the river." |
