\nFrom every stormy wind that blows, From every swelling tide of woes,
\nThere is a calm, a sure retreat: ‘Tis found beneath the mercy seat.<\/p>\n
2
\nThere is a place where Jesus sheds The oil of gladness on our heads,
\nA place than all besides more sweet; It is the blood-bought mercy seat.<\/p>\n
3
\nThere is a scene where spirits blend, Where friend holds fellowship with friend;
\nThough sundered far, by faith they meet Around one common mercy seat.<\/p>\n
4
\nThere, there, on angel’s wings we soar, And earthly cares molest no more,
\nAnd heaven comes down our souls to greet, And glory crowns the mercy seat.<\/p>\n

\nAh! whither should we flee for aid, When tempted, desolate dismayed?
\nOr how the hosts of sin defeat, Had suffering saints no mercy seat?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
