Hymn
God Is Present Everywhere
They who seek the throne of grace
Find that throne in ev'ry place;
If we live a life of prayer,
God is present ev'rywhere.
In our sickness and our health,
In our want, or in our wealth,
If we look to God in prayer,
God is present ev'rywhere.
When our earthly comforts fail,
When the woes of life prevail,
'Tis the time for earnest prayer,
God is present ev'rywhere.
Then, my soul, in ev'ry strait,
To thy Father come, and wait;
He will answer ev'ry prayer;
God is present ev'rywhere.
