Approach, My Soul, the Mercy Seat

Author: John Newton Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 614 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Approach, my soul, the mercy seat, Where Jesus answers prayer; There humbly fall before His 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 my fierce accuser face And tell Him, Thou hast died. 5 O wondrous love, to bleed and die, To bear the cross and shame, That guilty sinners such as I, Might plead Thy gracious Name.

Before Jehovah's Awful Throne

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 971 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Before Jehovah's awful throne, Ye nations, bow with sacred joy; Know that the Lord is God alone, He can create, and He destroy. 2 His sov'reign pow'r, without our aid, Made us of clay, and formed us men; And when like wand'ring sheep we strayed, He bro't us to His fold again. 3 We are His people, we His care, Our souls and all our mortal frame: What lasting honors shall we rear, Almighty Maker, to Thy Name? 4 We'll crowd Thy gates with thankful songs, High as the heav'ns our voices raise; And earth, with all its thousand tongues, Shall fill Thy courts with sounding praise. 5 Wide as the world is Thy command, Vast as eternity Thy love; Firm as a rock Thy truth must stand, When rolling years shall cease to move.

God Moves in a Mysterious Way

Author: William Cowper Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,133 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God moves in a mysterious way, His wonders to perform: He plants His footsteps in the sea, And rides upon the storm. 2 Deep in unfathomable mines Of never-failing skill, He treasures up his bright designs, And works His sov'reign will. 3 Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take: The clouds ye so much dread Are big with mercy, and shall break In blessings on your head. 4 Judge not the Lord by feeble sense, But trust Him for His grace; Behind a frowning Providence He hides a smiling face. 5 His purposes will ripen fast, Unfolding every hour: The bud may have a bitter taste, But sweet will be the flower. 6 Blind unbelief is sure to err, And scan His works in vain: God is His own interpreter, And He will make it plain.
