Tune:[Lord, at Thy mercy-seat]
Composer:Anon.

119. Lord, at Thy Mercy-seat

1 Lord, at Thy mercy-seat,
Humbly I fall;
Pleading Thy promise sweet,
Lord, hear my call;
Now let Thy work begin,
Oh, make me pure within,
Cleanse me from ev'ry sin,
Jesus, my all.

2 Tears of repentant grief
Silently fall;
Help Thou my unbelief,
Hear Thou my call;
Oh, how I pine for Thee!
'Tis all my hope and plea:
Jesus has died for me,
Jesus, my all.

3 Still at Thy mercy-seat,
Saviour I fall;
Trusting Thy promise sweet,
Heard is my call;
Faith wings my soul to Thee!
This all my song shall be:
Jesus has died for me,
Jesus, my all.
