FROM EVERY STORMY WIND

  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 beside more sweet;
    It is the blood-stained mercy-seat.
  3. There is a scene where spirits blend,
    Where friends hold fellowship with friends,
    Though sundered far, by faith they meet,
    Around one common mercy-seat.
  4. There, there, on eagle wings we soar,
    And sense and sin molest no more;
    And heaven comes down our souls to great,
    And glory crowns the mercy-seat.
  5. Oh, let my hand be cold, and still,
    My tongue be silent, cold, and still,
    This pounding heart forget to beat,
    If I forget the mercy-seat.
