Sunday Hymn: Approach My Soul, the Mercy Seat
Sunday, September 23, 2007 at 06:59AM Approach My Soul, The Mercy Seat
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 wars 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 accusers 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!
