|
|
<p>Approach, my soul, the mercy seat,<br>
|
|
Where Jesus answers prayer;<br>
|
|
There humbly fall before His feet,<br>
|
|
For none can perish there.</p>
|
|
<p>Thy promise is my only plea,<br>
|
|
With this I venture nigh;<br>
|
|
Thou callest burdened souls to Thee,<br>
|
|
And such, O Lord, am I.</p>
|
|
<p>Bowed down beneath a load of sin,<br>
|
|
By Satan sorely pressed,<br>
|
|
By war without and fears within,<br>
|
|
I come to Thee for rest.</p>
|
|
<p>Be Thou my Shield and hiding Place,<br>
|
|
That, sheltered by Thy side,<br>
|
|
I may my fierce accuser face,<br>
|
|
And tell him Thou hast died!</p>
|
|
<p>O wondrous love! to bleed and die,<br>
|
|
To bear the cross and shame,<br>
|
|
That guilty sinners, such as I,<br>
|
|
Might plead Thy gracious Name.</p>
|
|
<p>“Poor tempest tossed soul, be still;<br>
|
|
My promised grace receive”;<br>
|
|
’Tis Jesus speaks—I must, I will,<br>
|
|
I can, I do believe.</p>
