- 1From ev'ry stormy wind that blows,
- From ev'ry swelling tide of woes,
- There is a calm, a sure retreat;
- 'Tis found beneath the mercy-seat.
- 2There 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.
- 3There is a spot where spirits blend,
- Where friend holds fellowship with friend;
- Tho' sundered far, by faith they meet
- Around one common mercy-seat.
- 4There, there, on eagle's wing we soar,
- And time and sense seems all no more,
- And heav'n comes down, our souls to greet,
- And glory crowns the mercy-seat.
