I left the God of truth and light

Author: Montgomery Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 33 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I left the God of truth and light, I left the God who gave me breath, To wander in the wilds of night, And perish in snares of death. 2 In riches when I sought for joy, And placed in sordid gains my trust, I found that gold was all alloy, And worldly treasures fleeting dust. 3 Heart-broken, friendless, poor, cast down, Where shall the chief of sinners fly, Almighty vengeance, from thy frown? Eternal justice, from thine eye? 4 Lo, through the gloom of guilty fears, My face discerns a dawn of grace; The Sun of Righteousness appears In Jesus' reconciling face. 5 My suffering, slain, and risen Lord, In sore distress I turn to thee; I claim acceptance on thy word; My God, my God, forsake not me! 6 Prostrate before thy mercy-seat, I dare not, if I would, despair; None ever perished at thy feet, And I will lie forever there.
