Oliver Holden - Mercy Seat - текст песни (слова)

Jesus, where-e'er Thy people meet,
 There they behold Thy mercy seat. 
 Where-e'er they seek Thee Thou art found, 
 And every place is hallowed ground.
 
 For Thou, within no walls confined,  
 Inhabitest the humble mind; 
 Such ever bring Thee, where they come, 
 And going, take Thee to their home.
 
 Dear shepherd of the chosen few!  
 Thy former mercies here renew; 
 Here, to our waiting hearts, proclaim 
 The sweetness of Thy saving  name.
 
 Here may we prove the power of prayer, 
 To strengthen faith, and sweeten care; 
 To teach our faint desires to rise, 
 And bring all heav'n before our eyes.
 
 Lord, we are few, but Thou art near; 
 Nor short Thine arm, nor deaf Thine ear; 
 O rend the heav'ns, come quickly down, 
 And make a thousand hearts thine own!
