In days long past the mercy seat

Author: Doris N. Rendell Hymnal: The Song Book of the Salvation Army #590 (1986) Topics: Means of grace Prayer Lyrics: 1 In days long past the mercy seat Was made of purest gold; ‘Twas placed upon the sacred ark, Love’s meaning to unfold. Within the holiest place God planned Redemption’s grace to show; More sacred now is Calvary’s hill Where healing waters flow. 2 Thy blood, O Jesus, spotless Lamb, Once lifted up to die, Was shed to cleanse our fallen race And lead to realms on high. No one too sinful, or too low, Too desolate, too blind, But here before the mercy seat Can full deliverance find. 3 O hallow now our mercy seat, Thou Son of God most high! Here may the lame man leap for joy, The dumb sound joyful cry, The sin-sick soul, though wearied sore, By evil power possessed, The halt, the blind, the great, the small, Find peace from sins confessed. 4 We seek the healing of thy cross, The mercy of thy grace; Here at this sacred mercy seat May we behold thy face; Here may we glimpse thy holiness, Here on our souls descend, Here may we meet, and talk with thee, Our Master and our friend.

Let it go forth o’er all the earth, To cleanse our hearts within, To show Thy power in Satan’s hour And break the night of sin. 3 Thy word, a wondrous guiding star, On pilgrim hearts doth rise, Leads those to God who dwell afar, And makes the simple wise. Let not its light e’er sink in night; In every spirit shine, That none may miss heaven’s final bliss, Led by Thy light divine. Tune Title: [Thy word, O Lord, like gentle dews]

Oft have I, with sighs fast thronging, Thought upon this food with longing, In the battle well-nigh worsted, For this cup of life have thirsted, For the Friend, who here invites us And to God Himself unites us. 4 Now I sink before Thee lowly, Filled with joy most deep and holy, As with trembling awe and wonder On Thy mighty work I ponder, How by mystery surrounded, Depths no man hath ever sounded, None may dare to pierce unbidden, Secrets that with Thee are hidden. 5 Sun, who all my life dost brighten, Light, who dost my soul enlighten, Joy, the sweetest man e'er knoweth, Fount, whence all my being floweth. At Thy feet I cry, my Maker, Let me be a fit partaker Of this blessed food from heaven, For our good, Thy glory, given. 6 Jesus, Bread of life, I pray Thee, Let me gladly here obey Thee. By Thy love I am invited, Be Thy love with love requited; From this banquet let me measure, Lord, how vast and deep its treasure; Through the gifts Thou here dost give me As Thy guest in heaven receive me.

Author: Bernard of Clairvaux Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #154 (1913) Topics: The Means of Grace The Lord's Supper; The Means of Grace The Lord's Supper Lyrics: 1 Jesus, the very thought is sweet; In that dear name all heart-joys meet; But O, than the honey sweeter far, The glimpses of His presence are. 2 No word is sung more sweet than this: No name is heard more full of bliss; No thought brings sweeter comfort nigh, Than Jesus, Son of God most high. 3 Jesus, the hope of souls forlorn, How good to them for sin that that mourn! To them that seek Thee, O how kind! But what art Thou to them that find? 4 Jesus, Thou sweetness, pure and blest, Truth’s fountain, light of souls distressed, Surpassing all that heart requires, Exceeding all that soul desires! 5 No tongue of mortal can express, No pen can write its blessedness: He only who hath proved it knows What bliss from love of Jesus flows. 6 O Jesus, King of wondrous might! O Victor, glorious from the fight! Sweetness that may not be expressed, And altogether loveliest! 7 Remain with us, O Lord, today! In every heart Thy grace display; That now the shades of night are fled, On Thee our spirits may be fed. 8 I seek for Jesus in repose, When round my heart its chambers close; Abroad, and when I shut the door, I long for Jesus evermore. 9 With Mary in the morning gloom I seek for Jesus at the tomb; For Him with love's most earnest cry, I seek with heart and not with eye. 10 Jesus, to God the Father gone, Is seated on the heavenly throne: My heart hath also passed from me, That where He is there it may be. 11 We follow Jesus now, and raise The voice of prayer, the hymn of praise, That He at last may make us meet With Him to gain the heavenly seat.
