Approach, My Soul, the Mercy Seat
Author: John Newton Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 612 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 27:5 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 war 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.
Amen. Topics: Christ Love of; Communion of Saints; Penitence; Prayer; Sin; Life in Christ Prayer and Intercession Used With Tune: BALLERMA

In heavenly love abiding
Author: Anna Laetitia Waring, 1823-1910 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 566 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 27 Lyrics: 1 In heavenly love abiding,
no change my heart shall fear;
and safe is such confiding,
for nothing changes here:
the storm may roar without me,
my heart may low be laid;
but God is round about me,
and can I be dismayed?
2 Wherever he may guide me
no want shall turn me back,
my shepherd is beside me
and nothing can I lack:
his wisdom ever waking,
his sight is never dim,
he knows the way he's taking
and I will walk with him.
3 Green pastures are before me,
which yet I have not seen;
bright skies will soon be o'er me
where dark the clouds have been;
my hope I cannot measure,
my path to life is free;
my Saviour has my treasure,
and he will walk with me. Topics: Adversity; Anxiety; Comfort; Funerals; God's Love to Us; Guidance; Jesus Christ Friend and Companion; Pilgrimage; Providence; Saints Days and Holy Days St John the Evangelist; Trust in God Used With Tune: PENLAN

their constant service there!

through this dark vale of tears,
till each arrives at length,
till each in heaven appears:

when God our King,
shall thither bring
our willing feet. Used With Tune: CROFT'S 136TH

and while we speak, he's near;
mark the first signal of his hand,
and ready all appear.

and be with honour crowned!

Though troubles assail us, and dangers affright
Author: John Newton Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 430 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 27:5 Lyrics: 1 Though troubles assail us, and dangers affright,
Though friends should all fail us, and foes all unite,
Yet one thing secures us, whatever betide,
The promise assures us, "The Lord will provide."
2 The birds, without garner or storehouse, are fed;
From them let us learn to trust God for our bread:
His saints what is fitting shall ne'er be denied
So long as 'tis written, "The Lord will provide."
3 When Satan assails us to stop up our path,
And courage all fails us, we triumph by faith.
He cannot take from us, though oft he has tried,
This heart-cheering promise, "The Lord will provide."
4 No strength of our own, and no goodness we claim;
Yet, since we have known of the Saviour's great Name,
In this our strong tower for safety we hide:
The Lord is our power, "The Lord will provide."
Amen. Topics: Assurance; Faith Living by; God Divine Perfections of; God Faithfuless of; God Glory of; God Name of; Preservation of Christians; Satan; Tribulation and Suffering; Works of Providence Used With Tune: JOANNA Text Sources: The New Christian Hymnal, 1929

how beautiful thy mercy-seat

O everlasting Lord,
by prostrate spirits day and night
incessantly adored!
3 How wonderful, how beautiful,
the sight of thee must be,
thine endless wisdom, boundless power,
and aweful purity!
4 O how I fear thee, living God,
with deepest, tenderest fears,
and worship thee with trembling hope
and penitential tears!
5 Yet I may love thee too, O Lord,
almighty as thou art,
for thou hast stooped to ask of me
the love of my poor heart.
6 No earthly father loves like thee,
no mother, e'er so mild,
bears and forbears as thou hast done
with me, thy sinful child.
7 Father of Jesus, love's reward,
what rapture will it be,
prostrate before thy throne to lie
and gaze and gaze on thee! Topics: Lent II Year B; Proper 11 Year C Used With Tune: WESTMINSTER
