Mercy Seat

From every stormy wind that blows
From every swelling tide of woes
There is a calm, a sure retreat
Found beneath the mercy seat

There is a place where Jesus sheds
The oil of gladness on our heads
A place than all besides more sweet
It is the blood bought mercy seat

I will come
I will bow down
Pour my burdens out at Your feet
I will come
I will bow down
At Your mercy seat

There is a scene where spirits blend
Where friend holds fellowship with friend
Though sundered far, by faith they meet
Around one common mercy seat

There on eagle’s wings we soar
And sin and sense molest no more
And heaven comes our souls to greet
While glory crowns the mercy seat
