Author: J. Newton Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 620 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 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! Topics: The Church Year Eleventh Sunday after Trinity; The Church Year Eleventh Sunday after Trinity; Confession of Sin; Grace Used With Tune: [Approach, my soul, the mercy seat]
