Author: John Newton Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #3726 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Lord, I approach, Thy mercy seat Lyrics: 1. Lord, I approach, Thy 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 war without and fears within,
I come to Thee for rest.
4. Be Thou my shield, my hiding place,
That, sheltered near Thy side,
I may my fierce accuser face,
And tell him Thou hast died. Languages: English Tune Title: BURFORD
Lord, I Approach Thy Mercy Seat
