Triumphant Songs No.2 ‎#171

171. I’m Kneeling at the Mercy-Seat

1 Jesus, thine all-victorious love
Shed in my heart abroad;
Then shall my feet no longer rove,
Rooted and fixed in God.

Chorus 1:
I’m kneeling at the mercy-seat,
I’m kneeling at the mercy-seat,
I’m kneeling at the mercy-seat,
Where Jesus answers prayer.

Chorus 2:
I can, I will, I do believe,
I can, I will, I do believe,
I can, I will, I do believe,
That Jesus saves me now.

2 O that in me the sacred fire
Might now in me begin to glow;
Burn up the dross of base desire,
And make the mountains flow. [Chorus]

3 O that it now from heaven might fall
And all my sins consume;
Come, Holy Ghost for thee I call;
Spirit of burning, come. [Chorus]

4 Refining fire, go through my heart;
Illuminate my soul;
Scatter thy life through every part,
And sanctify the whole. [Chorus]
