Hymn 299

From every stormy wind that blows

Ninu gbogbo ìji ti nja

Meter L.M (8.8.8.8) Adura
  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 besides more sweet;
    It is the blood-stained mercy-seat.

  3. There is a spot where spirits blend,
    Where friend holds fellowship with friend,
    Though sunder’d far by faith they meet
    Around the common mercy-seat.

  4. Ah, whither could we flee for aid,
    When tempted, desolate, dismayed,
    Or how the hosts of hell defeat,
    Had suffering saints no mercy-seat?

  5. There, there on eagle wings we soar,
    And time and sense seem all no more,
    And heaven comes down our souls to greet,
    And glory crowns the mercy seat. Amin.
