Lyrics
Font size:
[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 war 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!
