Author: Wm. Cooper Hymnal: SoGG1918 #336 (1918) First Line: Approach, my soul, the mercy-seat Refrain First Line: O Jesus, receive me! Lyrics: 1 Approach, my soul, the mercy seat,
Where Jesus answers prayer;
There humbly fall before His feet,
For none can perish there.
Refrain:
O Jesus, receive me!
No more will I grieve thee!
Thou gracious Redeemer,
Oh, save me at the cross!
2 Thy promise is my only plea,
With this I venture nigh;
Thou callest burdened souls to Thee,
And such, O Lord, am I. [Refrain]
3 Bowed down beneath a load of sin,
By Satan sorely pressed,
By war without and fears within,
I come to Thee for rest. [Refrain]
4 Be Thou my Shield and hiding Place,
That, sheltered by Thy side,
I may my fierce accuser face,
And tell him Thou hast died! [Refrain]
5 Oh, wondrous love! to bleed and die,
To bear the cross and shame,
That guilty sinners, such as I,
Might plead Thy gracious Name. [Refrain] Topics: Altar Service Tune Title: [Approach, my soul, the mercy-seat]
