'Tis found before 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-bought mercy-seat.

3 There is a spot where spirits blend,

Where friend holds fellowship with friend;

Though sundered far, by faith they meet

Around one common mercy-seat.

4 There, there, on eagle's wings we soar,
