Sheet music

  1. 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.There is a place where Jesus shedsThe oil of gladness on our heads,A place than all besides more sweet;It is the blood-bo’t mercy-seat.
  2. 2There is a scene where spirits blend,Where friend holds fellowship with friend;Tho’ sundered far, by faith they meetAround one common mercy-seat.There, there on eagle’s wings we soar,And sin and sense seem all no more,And heav’n comes down our souls to greet,And glory crowns the mercy-seat.
