Author: Wm. Cowper Hymnal: Revival Praises #125 (1907) Hymnal Title: Revival Praises First Line: Approach, my soul, the mercy-seat Refrain First Line: O Jesus, receive me! Lyrics: 1 Approach, my soul, the mercy-seat
Where Jesus answers prayer;
There humbly fall before His feet,
For none can perish there.
Refrain:
O Jesus, receive me!
No more will I grieve Thee;
Thou gracious Redeemer,
O save me at the cross!
2 Thy promise is my only plea;
With this I venture nigh;
Thou callest burdened souls to Thee,
And such, O Lord, am I. [Refrain]
3 Bowed down beneath a load of sin,
By Satan sorely pressed,
By war without and fears within,
I come to Thee for rest. [Refrain]
4 Oh, wondrous love! to bleed and die,
To bear the cross and shame,
That guilty sinners, such as I,
Might plead Thy gracious Name. [Refrain] Tune Title: [Approach, my soul, the mercy-seat]
Save Me at the Cross
