Hymn 244 – APPROACH, my soul, the mercy seat | C&S English Hymnary

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 burden'd souls to Thee, And such, O Lord, am I. 3. Bow'd down beneath a load of sin, By Satan sorely press‘d By war without and fears within, I come to Thee for rest. 4. Be Thou my shield and hiding-place, That, shelter'd near Thy side, I may my fierce accuser face, Add tell him, Thou hast died. 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 AMEN
