Approach, My Soul, the Mercy Seat
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. 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 by 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. ~Words: John Newton & Music: Elkanah Dare
