The mercy seat

Author: Hugh Stowell Appears in 1,303 hymnals Topics: Prayer and Invocation First Line: From every stormy wind that blows Lyrics: 1 From every stormy wind that blows, From every swelling tide of woes, There is a calm, a sure retreat; 'Tis found beneath the mercy-seat. 2 There is a place where Jesus sheds The oil of gladness on our heads, A place than all besides more sweet; It is the blood-bought mercy-seat. 3 There is a scene where spirits blend, Where friend holds fellowship with friend; Though sundered far, by faith they meet, Around one common mercy-seat. 4 There, there, on eagle wings we soar, And sense and skin molest no more, And heaven comes down our souls to greet, And glory crowns the mercy-seat! 5 Oh! let my hand forget her skill, My tongue be silent, cold, and still, This throbbing heart forget to beat, If I forget the mercy-seat.

Man reigns on high! Lo! all the hosts of the sky Bow down and worship before Him! 3 Praise to the Spirit, whose strong, rushing wind, ever blowing, Still through the world, wheresoever it wisheth, is going. Darkness and death Drink, from Thy quickening breath, Life, light, and joy overflowing. 4 Lord God Almighty, Creator, Redeemer, and Giver, Thy praise resounds by the shore of the bright crystal river. We, too, would fain Echoing humbly the strain, Praise Thee for ever and ever.
