6988. They Who Seek the Throne of Grace

1. They who seek the throne of grace,
Find that throne in every place;
If we live a life of prayer,
God is present everywhere.

2. In our sickness or our health,
In our want or in our wealth,
If we look to God in prayer,
God is present everywhere.

3. When our earthly comforts fail,
When the foes of life prevail,
’Tis the time for earnest prayer;
God is present everywhere.

4. Then, my soul, in every strait
To thy Father come and wait;
He will answer every prayer;
God is present everywhere.
