Approach, My Soul, the Mercy Seat

Author: John Newton Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 624 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Approach, my soul, the mercy seat, where Jesus answers pray'r; 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 wars 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. 6 "Poor tempest-tosséd soul, be still, my promised grace receive"; 'tis Jesus speaks; I must, I will, I can, I do believe.

Now Is The Time, Th'Accepted Hour

Author: William Cowper, 1731-1800 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 44 hymnals First Line: Now is the time, th’accepted hour, Lyrics: 1 Now is the time, th’accepted hour, O! sinners come away; The Savior’s knocking at our door, Arise without delay. 2 O! don’t refuse to give Him room, Lest mercy should withdraw; He’ll then in robes of vengeance come To execute His law. 3 Then where, poor mortals, will you be, If destitute of grace, When you your injured Judge shall see, And stand before His face. 4 O! could you shun that dreadful sight, How would you wish to fly, To darkest shades of endless night, From that all-searching eye? 5 But death and hell must all appear And you among them stand; Before the great impartial bar Arraigned at Christ’s left hand. 6 Let not these warnings be in vain, But lend a listening ear; Lest you should meet them all again, When wrapped in keen despair.

Alas! and did my Saviour bleed

Author: Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2,426 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Alas! and did my Saviour bleed, And did my Sovereign die? Would He devote that sacred Head For such a worm as I? 2 Was it for crimes that I had done, He groaned upon the tree? Amazing pity! grace unknown! And Love beyond degree! 3 Well might the sun in darkness hide, And shut his glories in, When Christ the mighty Maker died For man the creature's sin! 4 Thus might I hide my blushing face, While His dear Cross appears; Dissolve my heart in thankfulness, And melt my eyes in tears. 5 But drops of tears can ne'er repay The debt of love I owe. Here, Lord, I give myself away; 'Tis all that I can do. Topics: Good Friday; Passion Week; Good Friday Used With Tune: BURFORD
