Author: Anne Steele Hymnal: Laudes Domini #73 (1888) First Line: Dear Father, to thy mercy-seat Lyrics: 1 Dear Father, to thy mercy-seat
My soul for shelter flies:
'Tis here I find a safe retreat
When storms and tempests rise.
2 My cheerful hope can never die,
If thou, my God, art near;
Thy grace can raise my comforts high,
And banish every fear.
3 My great Protector and my Lord,
Thy constant aid impart;
Oh, let thy kind, thy gracious word
Sustain my trembling heart!
4 Oh, never let my soul remove
From this divine retreat!
Still let me trust thy power and love,
And dwell beneath thy feet. Topics: Prayer and Invocation Languages: English Tune Title: HOLY TRINITY
