The mercy seat

Author: Hugh Stowell Hymnal: Laudes Domini #48 (1890) Topics: Prayer and Invocation; Close of Worship; Mercy-seat; Opening of Service; Prayer; Close of Worship; Mercy-seat; Opening of Service; Prayer 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 There, there, on eagle wings we soar, And sense and skin molest no more, And heaven comes down our souls to greet, And glory crowns the mercy-seat! 5 Oh! let my hand forget her skill, My tongue be silent, cold, and still, This throbbing heart forget to beat, If I forget the mercy-seat.

What various stores of good, Diffused from our Redeemer's hand, And purchased with his blood. 4 Jesus, our living Head, We bless thy faithful care; Our Advocate before the throne, And our Forerunner there. 5 Here fix, my roving heart! Here wait, my warmest love! Till the communion be complete, In nobler scenes above. Languages: English Tune Title: SHIRLAND
