Search Me, O God!
O God, My God! Why, In This Hour
Author: Harriet Auber Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 "O God, My God! why, in this hour
Of anguish and despair,
Hast Thou withdrawn Thy saving power
Unmindful of My prayer?"
2 Thus, lingering on the accursèd tree,
Our suffering Lord complained,
When He, our captive souls to free,
The guilt of man sustained.
3 O wondrous love! content to meet,
For us, reproach and scorn;
For us, His sacred hands and feet
With cruel nails were torn.
4 For us He bowed His soul to death,
That we through Him might live;
For us He cried with latest breath,
"Father, their sins forgive."
5 O God, our God, Thou, in the hour
Of anguish and despair,
Wilt never withdraw Thy saving power
Unmindful of that prayer.

O God, My God! Why, In This Hour
The Dwelling Place of God
Author: Henry Ware, Jr. Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: God dwells in Heaven: He rules above Lyrics: 1 God dwells in Heaven: He rules above,
In everlasting might,
Beyond where stars their courses move,
In uncreated light.
2 God dwells in hell: His vengeance there
Gleams through the black abode;
The realms of anguish and despair
Confess the present God.
3 God dwells on earth; and all around
We view His wondrous power;
His terrors in the thunder sound,
His mercies in the shower.
4 When man erects a house of prayer,
There God resides within,
To witness every feeling there,
And pardon every sin.
5 But most of all the Lord resides
Within a humble mind;
The worth that modest merit hides
His grace is sure to find.
6 By pious men He may be found,
And everywhere adored;
Where’er they tread is holy ground,
A temple to the Lord.
7 O, let me find Thee everywhere—
Around me, and within!
Be every day a day of prayer,
And pure from every sin. Used With Tune: CROWLE
