From Every Storny Wind that Blows

Author: Hugh Stowell Appears in 1,281 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 45:7 First Line: From every stormy wind that blows Lyrics: 1 From every stormy wind that blows, From every swelling tide of woes, There is a calm, a sure retreat: 'Tis found beneath the mercy seat. 2 There is a place where Jesus sheds The oil of gladness on our heads; A place than all besides more sweet; It is the blood-bought mercy seat. 3 There is a scene where spirits blend, Where friend holds fellowship with friend; Though sundered far, by faith they meet Around one common mercy seat. 4 Ah! whither could we flee for aid, When tempted, desolate, dismayed: Or how the hosts of hell defeat, Had suff'ring saints no mercy-seat. 5 Ah! there, there on eagle wings we soar, And time and sense seem all no more: And heav'n comes down our souls to greet, While glory crowns the mercy seat.

His reign shall know no end; and round his pierced feet fair flowers of paradise extend their fragrance ever sweet. 4 Crown him the Lord of years, the potentate of time; creator of the rolling spheres, ineffably sublime. All hail, Redeemer, hail! For thou hast died for me; thy praise shall never, never fail throughout eternity.
