Before Thy Mercy Seat, O Lord

 

 

VERSE 1

Before Thy mercy seat, O Lord,

Behold, Thy servants stand,

To ask the knowledge of Thy Word,

The guidance of Thy hand.

 

VERSE 2

Let Thy eternal truths, we pray,

Dwell richly in each heart;

That from the safe and narrow way

We never may depart.

 

VERSE 3

Lord, from Thy Word remove the seal,

Unfold its hidden store,

And as we read, teach us to feel

Its value more and more.

 

VERSE 4

Help us to see a Savior’s love

Shine forth from every page,

And let the thoughts of joys above

Our inmost souls engage.

 

VERSE 5

Thus, while Thy Word our footsteps guides,

Shall we be truly blest,

And soon arrive where love provides

An everlasting rest.
