| 1. | From every stormy wind that blows, |
| | >From every swelling tide of woes, |
| | There is a calm, a sure retreat- |
| | 'Tis found beneath the mercy seat. |
| 2. | There is a place where Jesus sheds |
| | The oil of gladness on our heads, |
| | A place than all besides more sweet- |
| | It is the blood-brought mercy seat. |
| 3. | There is a scene 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 wings we soar, |
| | And time and sense seem all no more, |
| | And heaven comes down our souls to |
| | greet, |
| | And glory crowns the mercy seat. |
