Lord, I approach the mercy-seat

Author: Newton Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 614 hymnals Scripture: 2 Corinthians 1:20 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.

Omniscience--Ps. 139

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 327 hymnals Scripture: 2 Corinthians 1:20 First Line: Lord! thou hast searched, and seen me thro' Lyrics: 1 Lord! thou hast searched and seen me thro'; Thine eye commands, with piercing view, My rising and my resting hours, My heart and flesh, with all their powers. 2 My thoughts, before they are my own, Are to my God distinctly known; He knows the words I mean to speak, Ere from my opening lips they break. 3 Within thy circling power I stand; On every side I find thy hand; Awake, asleep, at home, abroad, I am surrounded still with God. 4 Amazing knowledge, vast and great! What large extent! what lofty height! My soul, with all the powers I boast Is in the boundless prospect lost. 5 Oh, may these thoughts possess my breast, Where'er I rove, where'er I rest; Nor let my weaker passions dare Consent to sin, for God is there.

The promises I sing

Author: Doddridge Appears in 106 hymnals Scripture: 2 Corinthians 1:20 Lyrics: 1 The promises I sing, Which love supreme once spoke; Nor will the eternal King His words of grace revoke. They stand secure And steadfast still: Not Sion's hill Abides so sure. 2 The mountains melt away, When once the Judge appears; And sun and moon decay, That measure mortal years: But still the same In radiant lines His promises shines Through all the flame. 3 Their harmony shall sound Through my attentive ears, When thunders cleave the ground And dissipate the spheres. 'Midst all the shock Of that dread scene I'll stand serene, Thy word my rock. Topics: Attributes of God Faithfulness; God Faithful

A Debtor to Mercy Alone

Author: Augustus M. Toplady, 1740-1778 Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Appears in 101 hymnals Scripture: 2 Corinthians 1:20 Lyrics: 1 A debtor to mercy alone, of covenant mercy I sing; nor fear, with your righteousness on, my person and off'ring to bring. The terrors of law and of God with me can have nothing to do; my Savior's obedience and blood hide all my transgressions from view. 2 The work which his goodness began, the arm of his strength will complete; his promise is yea and amen, and never was forfeited yet. Things future, nor things that are now, nor all things below or above, can make him his purpose forgo, or sever my soul from his love. 3 My name from the palms of his hands eternity will not erase; impressed on his heart it remains, in marks of indelible grace. Yes, I to the end shall endure, as sure as the earnest is giv'n; more happy, but not more secure, the glorified spirits in heav'n.
