INTERCESSION. (7 5. 7 5. d. S S.) 𝅗𝅥=88. Author:William Hutchins Callcott (1807-1882).
(The last two lines from Men-delssohn's) Elijah.)


Horatius Bonar (1808-1889).

WHEN the weary, seeking rest,
  To thy goodness flee;
When the heavy-laden cast
  All their load on thee;
When the troubled , seeking peace,
  On thy Name shall call ;
When the sinner, seeking life,
  At thy feet shall fall:
Hear then in love, Lord, the cry.
In heaven, thy dwelling-place on high.

When the worldling, sick at heart,
  Lifts his soul above;
When the prodigal looks back
  To his Father's love ;
When the proud man from his pride
  Stoops to seek thy face ;
When the burdened brings his guilt
  To thy throne of grace :
Hear then in love, Lord, the cry,
In heaven, thy dwelling-place on high.
