Precious Moments

Precious moments, rich in blessing, At the throne of grace I spend; All my joys and griefs expressing, To my best and truest Friend. Here I find that sweet communion With my Father and my Lord, Earnest of that blessed union Promised in the Holy Word.

Christ says, Come, thou heavy laden, I will give thee sweetest rest; All the way my feet have trodden; Come to me when sore opprest. Take my easy yoke upon you, Rest from earthly care and strife, I will sweetest comfort give you, Walk with me the ways of life.

Lord, we praise thee for this blessing, For this privilege so sweet, For thy tender love' s caressing, For this sure and safe retreat. Never weary of our coming, Never spurning our request; With complaint or with rejoicing, Still thy love is manifest.
