Seek (don't just sit)

Seek Him, and we shall find

Effort sustains reward

Faith’s diligence, though vision-blind

Sees fitly through God’s word

Seek Him, not worldly sense

Often opinion-bold

But dwell upon faith's recompense

Of riches yet untold

Seek Him, and weep with joy

When woe increases need

And we with meeker hearts reply

That Christ is Lord indeed

Seek Him, lest unawares

Banking on what we feel

We fall into the deadly snares

Set by visual appeal

Seek Him, while Time remains

Do not some Bygone grieve

For the mercy of God sustains

All who trust and believe

Seek while He may be found

Someday, ah who knows when

The trumpet of the Lord will sound

And what will we say then
