Approach, My Soul, the Mercy Seat
"Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace." - Heb 4:16
VERSE 1
Approach, my soul, the mercy seat,
Where Jesus answers pray'r;
There humbly fall before His feet,
For none can perish there.
VERSE 2
Thy promise is my only plea;
With this I venture nigh;
Thou callest burden'd souls to Thee,
And such, O Lord, am I.
VERSE 3
Bow'd down beneath a load of sin,
By satan sorely press'd
By wars without, and fears within,
I come to Thee for rest.
VERSE 4
Be Thou my shield and hiding place,
That, shelter'd near Thy side,
I may my fierce accuser face,
And tell him, Thou hast died.
VERSE 5
Oh wondrous love! to bleed and die,
To bear the Cross and shame,
That guilty sinners, such as I,
Might plead Thy gracious Name!
