Approach, My Soul, the Mercy Seat

Author: John Newton Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 625 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Approach, my soul, the mercy seat where Jesus answers prayer; there humbly fall before his feet, for none can perish there. 2 Thy promise is my only plea; with this I venture nigh: thou callest burdened souls to thee, and such, O Lord, am I. 3 Bowed down beneath a load of sin, by Satan sorely pressed, by war without, and fears within, I come to thee for rest. 4 Be thou my shield and hiding place, that, sheltered near thy side, I may my fierce accuser face, and tell him thou hast died. 5 O wondrous love! to bleed and die, to bear the cross and shame, that guilty sinners, such as I, might plead thy gracious name!

Ascended now, in glory bright, Still one with us Thou art; Nor life, nor death, nor depth, nor height, Thy saints and Thee can part. 5. O teach us, Lord, to know and own This wondrous mystery, That Thou with us art truly one, And we are one with Thee. 6.
