Author: Fanny J. Crosby Hymnal: Joy to the World #52 (1879) First Line: From worldly thought and busy care Refrain First Line: The mercy seat, the mercy seat Lyrics: 1 From worldly thought and busy care
We come to seek the place of prayer,
Where Jesus condescends to meet
His children at the mercy seat.
Chorus:
The mercy seat, the mercy seat,
Our only safe and sure retreat;
Though storms without may wildly beat,
'Tis sunshine at the mercy seat.
2 O hallowed hour that nearer brings
To mortal view eternal things,
While here we hold communion sweet
With Jesus at the mercy seat. [Chorus]
3 Come, burdened soul, if such there be,
Who from thy sorrow would'st be free;
Thy loving Savior now will meet,
And cleanse thee at the mercy seat. [Chorus]
4 Praise God that all the cross may bear,
Praise God that all a crown may wear
Praise God for such an hour so sweet,
Of blessing at the mercy seat. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [From worldly thought and busy care]
The Mercy Seat
