Author: P. Eber, 1511-69 ; C. Winkworth, 1827-78 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 64 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When in the hour of utmost need
We know not where to look for aid;
When days and nights of anxious thought
Nor help nor counsel yet have brought,
2 Then this our comfort is alone:
That we may meet before Thy throne
And cry, O faithful God, to Thee
For rescue from our misery;
3 To Thee may raise our hearts and eyes,
Repenting sore with bitter sighs,
And seek Thy pardon for our sin
And respite from our griefs within.
4 For Thou hast promised graciously
To hear all those who cry to Thee
Through Him whose name alone is great,
Our Savior and our Advocate.
5 And thus we come, O God, today
And all our woes before Thee lay;
For sorely tried, cast down, we stand,
Perplexed by fears on ev'ry hand.
6 Ah! hide not for our sins Thy face,
Absolve us through Thy boundless grace,
Be with us in our anguish still;
Free us at last from ev'ry ill,
7 That so with all our hearts we may
To Thee our glad thanksgiving pay,
Then walk obedient to Thy Word
And now and ever praise Thee, Lord.

Where should I lodge my deep complaint?

That none shall seek Thy face in vain?

Have no such privilege to boast.

Yet God, my God, forgets me not;
And he is safe, and must succeed,
For whom the Lord vouchsafes to plead.

And bend on me Thy pitying eye.

Hear us for our Redeemer's sake.

Suffice to purchase our release;

For vile, rebellious traitors shed.

To rescue guilty souls from hell;

Beneath avenging Justice fell.

Nor wear its cruel fetters more!
