The Cyber Hymnal ‎#13157

13157. Where Is Thy God, My Soul?

1 Where is thy God, my soul?
Is He within thy heart,
Or ruler of a distant realm
In which thou hast no part?

2 Where is thy God, my soul?
Only in stars and sun?
Or have the holy words of truth
His light in every one?

3 Where is thy God, my soul?
Confined to Scripture’s page?
Or does His Spirit check and guide
The spirit of each age?

4 O Ruler of the sky,
Rule thou within my heart;
O great adorner of the world,
Thy light of life impart.

5 Giver of holy words,
Bestow Thy holy power,
And aid me, whether work or thought
Engage the varying hour.

6 In Thee have I my help,
As all my fathers had;
I’ll trust Thee when I’m sorrowful,
And serve Thee when I’m glad.
