God of My Life, to Thee I Call

Author: William Cowper; Unknown Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnal #534 (1941) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 God of my life, to Thee I call; Afflicted, at Thy feet I fall; When the great water-floods prevail, Leave not my trembling heart to fail. 2 Friend of the friendless and the faint, Where should I lodge my deep complaint? Where but with Thee, whose open door Invites the helpless and the poor? 3 Did ever mourner plead with Thee And Thou refuse that mourner’s plea? Does not the word still fixed remain That none shall seek Thy face in vain? 4 Fair is the lot that’s cast for me; I have an Advocate with Thee. They whom the world caresses most Have no such privilege to boast. 5 Poor thou I am, despised, forgot, Yet God, my God, forgets me not; And he is safe, and must succeed, For whom the Lord vouchsafes to plead. 6 Then hear, O Lord, my humble cry And bend on me Thy pitying eye. To Thee their prayer Thy people make: Hear us for our Redeemer's sake. Amen. Topics: Cross and Comfort Scripture: Psalm 46 Languages: English Tune Title: WENN WIR IN HÖCHSTEN NÖTEN
