Where Is Thy God, My Soul?

Where is thy God

my soul?

Is He with­in thy heart;

Or rul­er of a dist­ant realm

In which thou hast no part?

Where is thy God

my soul?

Only in stars and sun;

Or have the ho­ly words of truth

His light in ev­ery one?

Where is thy God

my soul?

Confined to Scrip­ture’s page;

Or does His Spir­it check and guide

The spir­it of each age?

O Rul­er of the sky

Rule Thou with­in my heart;

Oh

great Ad­orn­er of the world

Thy light of life im­part.

Giver of ho­ly words

Bestow Thy ho­ly pow­er;

And aid me

whe­ther work or thought

Engage the va­ry­ing hour.

In Thee have I my help

As all my fa­thers had;

I’ll trust Thee when I’m sor­row­ful

And serve Thee when I’m glad.
