378 HEBRON L. M. Lowell Mason, 1830 1. Jesus, wher-e'er Thy peo-ple meet, There they be- hold Thy mer-cy-seat; 23 b2 Where'er they seek Thee, Thou art found, And ev-'ry place is hallow'd ground. A-MEN. I. From ev'ry storm-y wind that blows, From ev-'ry swell-ing tide of woes, There is a calm, a sure re-treat; 'Tis found be-neath the mer-cy - seat. A-MEN. 2 There is a place where Jesus sheds The oil of gladness on our heads, A place than all beside more sweet; It is the blood-bought mercy-seat. 3 There is a spot where spirits blend, Where friend holds fellowship with friend; Though sundered far, by faith they meet Around one common mercy-seat. 4 There, there, on eagle's wing we soar, And time and sense seem all no more, And heaven comes down, our souls to greet, And glory crowns the mercy-seat. 302 Hugh Stowell, 1828 We say, "Our Father know-eth," And leave it all to Him. A-MEN. 2 For His great love has compassed We know not; but He knoweth, And He will bless indeed. Give what is best to me: And take the wants unanswered As offerings made to Thee.

To truth still blind, to sin a slave, Find better than Bethesda's pool, Or than Siloam's healing wave: And may we learn, while here apart From the world's passion and its strife, That Thy true shrine's a loving heart, And Thy best praise a holy life.

When the wea-ry, seeking rest, To Thy goodness flee; When the heavy- la - den cast bb 9:25 bb -6 All their load on Thee; When the troubled, seeking peace, On Thy name shall call; When the sin- ner, seek-ing life, At Thy feet shall fall: Hear then in love, O Lord, the cry In heav'n, Thy dwell-ing - place on high. A-MEN. 2 When the worldling, sick at heart, Lifts his soul above; When the prodigal looks back To his Father's love; When the proud man, from his pride, Stoops to seek Thy face; When the burdened brings his guilt To Thy throne of grace: Hear then in love, O Lord, the cry In heaven, Thy dwelling-place on high. 3 When the stranger asks a home, Bows the fervent knee; Lifts his heart to Thee: |
