Lord, I approach the mercy-seat
Author: Newton Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #425 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Jeremiah 3:22 Lyrics: 1 Lord, I approach the mercy-seat,
Where thou dost answer prayer;
There humbly fall before thy 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 wars 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 rejoice in Jesus' grace--
In Jesus crucified.
5 Oh, wondrous love!--to bleed and die,
To bear the cross and shame,
That guilty sinners, such as I,
Might plead thy gracious name.

O Thou, whose tender mercy hears
Author: Mrs. Steele Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #418 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Jeremiah 3:22 Lyrics: 1 O Thou, whose tender mercy hears
Contrition's humble sigh;
Whose hand, indulgent, wipes the tears
From sorrow's weeping eye--
2 See, low before thy throne of grace
A wretched wanderer mourn;
Hast thou not bid me seek thy face?
Hast thou not said, Return?

To drive me from thy feet?
Oh, let not this dear refuge fail,
This only safe retreat!

Without one cheering ray,
Through dangers, fears, and gloomy night,
How desolate my way!

With beams of mercy shine!

A taste of joys divine. Topics: The Christian System Repentance and Faith; Contrition

when suns and moons shall shine no more.

from guilt and darkness and the grave:

and leads us to his heavenly seat:

when this our world shall be no more. Languages: English Tune Title: DUKE STREET
