Author: John Newton (1725-1807) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 619 hymnals 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! Topics: Life in Christ Our Response to Christ - In Devotion; Jesus cross Scripture: Hebrews 4:16 Used With Tune: STRACATHRO
