Text: | I Love the Blessed Mercy Seat |
Author: | Rev. Johnson Oatman, Jr. |
Tune: | [There's a place where weary mortals] |
Composer: | J. Wesley Hughes, arr. |
1 There’s a place where weary mortals
May find a rest complete,
Where the earth and heaven mingles,
‘Tis at the mercy seat.
Refrain:
Yes, I love the mercy seat;
There’s no other safe retreat;
There by faith I meet my Saviour,
At the blessed mercy seat.
2 There I take to Christ my burdens,
And cast them at His feet,
And my soul finds sweet refreshing
Down at the mercy seat. [Refrain]
3 Here my heart finds perfect cleansing,
Each part made pure and sweet,
Here I am baptized for duty,
Down at the mercy seat. [Refrain]
4 When at last this life is ended,
And I my Lord shall greet,
I shall find the gates of heaven
Beyond the mercy seat. [Refrain]
