527. From Every Stormy Wind

Ab                Db        Ab
From every stormy wind that blows,

Eb7                 Ab      Eb
From every swelling tide of woes,

      Ab                   Eb
There is a calm, a sure re-treat:

Ab                     Db  Eb7 Ab
‘Tis found beneath the mer-cy seat.


[[Full Lyrics]]

[Verse 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.

[Verse 2]
There is a place where Jesus sheds The oil of gladness on our heads,
A place than all besides more sweet; It is the blood-bought mercy seat.

[Verse 3]
There is a scene where spirits blend, Where friend holds fellowship with friend;
Though sundered far, by faith they meet Around one common mercy seat.

[Verse 4]
There, there, on angel’s wings we soar, And earthly cares molest no more,
And heaven comes down our souls to greet, And glory crowns the mercy seat.

[Verse 5]
Ah! whither should we flee for aid, When tempted, desolate dismayed?
Or how the hosts of sin defeat, Had suffering saints no mercy seat?
