Hymnal: A Pocket hymn-book, designed as a constant companion for the pious #CCXL (1790) Lyrics: 1 God is in this and ev'ry place;
But O how dark and void
To me! 'tis one great wilderness,
This earth, without my God.
2 Empty of him who all things fills,
Till he his light impart!
Till he his glorious self reveals,
The veil is on my heart!
3 O thou who seest and know'st my grief,
Thyself unseen, unknown,
Pity my helpless unbelief,
And take away the stone.
4 Regard me with a gracious eye;
The long-sought blessing give;
And bid me, at the point to die,
Behold thy face and live.
5 A darker soul did never yet
Thy promis'd help implore:
O that I now my Lord might meet,
And never lose him more!
6 Now, Jesus, now the Father's love
Shed in my heart abroad;
The middle wall of sin remove,
And let me into God! Topics: For Mourners conceived of Sin Languages: English
