Approach, My Soul, The Mercy Seat
Where Jesus Answers Prayer;
There Humbly Fall Before His Feet,
For None Can Perish There.
Thy Promise Is My Only Plea;
With This I Venture Nigh:
Thou Callest Burdened Souls To Thee,
And Such, O Lord, Am I.
Bowed Down Beneath A Load Of Sin,
By Satan Sorely Pressed,
By War Without And Fears Within,
I Come To Thee For Rest.
Be Thou My Shield And Hiding Place,
That, Sheltered Near Thy Side,
I May My Fierce Accuser Face,
And Tell Him Thou Hast Died.
O Wondrous Love! To Bleed And Die,
To Bear The Cross And Shame,
That Guilty Sinners, Such As I,
Might Plead Thy Gracious Name!
