Come to the Mercy Seat

William Stevenson • English

Primary Scripture: Leviticus 16:2

Verse 1

O come to the mercy seat, needy one, come, No longer in sickness and poverty roam; For healing and riches are waiting thee there, And all thou requirest, in answer to prayer.

Chorus

O come to the mercy seat, Come to the mercy seat; Come with thy sorrows, And tell them in prayer.

Verse 2

O come to the mercy seat , come as thou art, Wait not from thy sins and thy burdens to part; There only thy soul can find blessed release, Thy burdens be lifted, thy wanderings cease.

Chorus

O come to the mercy seat, Come to the mercy seat; Come with thy sorrows, And tell them in prayer.

Verse 3

O come to the mercy seat, Jesus is there; He knows that for thee is the comfort of prayer; When storms beat around thee, and passions are stirred, The winds and the waves He can still with a word.

Chorus

O come to the mercy seat, Come to the mercy seat; Come with thy sorrows, And tell them in prayer.
