When In The Hour Of Utmost Need

Author: Paul Eber Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #276 (1930) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 When in the hour of utmost need No soul is near our cry to heed, When day and night we seek in vain Some counsel or relief to gain, 2 Then this our comfort is alone That we appear before Thy throne And plead, O faithful Lord, with Thee From all our cares to set us free. 3 When we to Thee lift up our eyes, Thou hearest our repentant sighs, Forgivest us our grievous sin, And we Thy gracious favor win. 4 For Thou hast surely promised grace To all who humbly seek Thy face Through Jesus Christ, our Advocate, Whose name above all names is great. 5 Look not upon our sin and guilt, For which the Savior's blood was spilt, But all our guilt do Thou efface And for all ills send us Thy grace. 6 Thus grant that we may truly be Once more most thankful unto Thee, Walk in obedience to Thy Word And ever praise Thy name, O Lord.
