Before Thy Mercy Seat, O Lord

Author: William H. Bathurst, 1796-1877 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #668 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. Before Thy mercy seat, O Lord, Behold, Thy servants stand, To ask the knowledge of Thy Word, The guidance of Thy hand. 2. Let Thy eternal truths, we pray, Dwell richly in each heart; That from the safe and narrow way We never may depart. 3. Lord, from Thy Word remove the seal, Unfold its hidden store, And as we read, teach us to feel Its value more and more. 4. Help us to see a Savior’s love Shine forth from every page, And let the thoughts of joys above Our inmost souls engage. 5. Thus, while Thy Word our footsteps guides, Shall we be truly blest, And soon arrive where love provides An everlasting rest. Languages: English Tune Title: BISHOPTHORPE
