Approach, my soul, the mercy-seat

Author: John Newton Hymnal: The Hymnal #303 (1916) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Holy Communion Introits Lyrics: Approach, my soul, the mercy-seat, Where Jesus answers prayer; There humbly fall before his feet, For none can perish there. Thy promise is my only plea, With this I venture nigh; Thou callest burdened souls to thee, And such, O Lord, am I. 278 Bowed down beneath a load of sin, By Satan sorely pressed, By war without, and fears within, I come to thee for rest. Be thou my shield and hiding-place; That, sheltered near thy side, I may my fierce accuser face, And tell him, thou hast died! O wondrous love! to bleed and die, To bear the cross and shame, That guilty sinners, such as I, Might plead thy gracious Name. O Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, The God whom we adore, Be glory, as it was, is now, And shall be evermore. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: SPOHR

Thou art coming to a King: Large petitions with thee bring; For his grace and power are such, None can ever ask too much. With my burden I begin: Lord, remove this load of sin; Let thy blood, for sinners spilt, Set my conscience free from guilt. 279 Lord, I come to thee for rest; Take possession of my breast; There thy blood-bought right maintain, And without a rival reign. While I am a pilgrim here, Let thy love my spirit cheer; As my guide, my guard, my friend, Lead me to my journey's end. Show me what I have to do; Every hour my strength renew; Let me live a life of faith; Let me die thy people's death. Holy Father, Holy Son, And Holy Spirit, Three in One! Glory, as of old, to thee, Now, and evermore shall be. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: BRASTED

Before Jehovah's awful throne

Author: Isaac Watts; John Wesley Hymnal: The Hymnal #309 (1916) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Holy Communion Introits Lyrics: Before Jehovah's awful throne, Ye nations, bow with sacred joy; Know that the Lord is God alone; He can create, and he destroy.

We are his people, we his care, Our souls, and all our mortal frame: What lasting honours shall we rear, Almighty Maker, to thy Name? We'll crowd thy gates with thankful songs, High as the heaven our voices raise; And earth, with her ten thousand tongues, Shall fill thy courts with sounding praise. Wide as the world is thy command, Vast as eternity thy love; Firm as a rock thy truth must stand, When rolling years shall cease to move. Praise God, from whom all blessings flow! Praise him, all creatures here below! Praise him above, ye heavenly host! Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost! Amen. Scripture: Psalm 100 Languages: English Tune Title: WINCHESTER NEW

Praise the Father, earth and heaven, Praise the Son, the Spirit praise, As it was, and is, be given Glory through eternal days. Amen. Scripture: Psalm 91 Languages: English Tune Title: TRUST
