Seek, O Seek the Lord

Norma McAuley

Seek, O seek the Lord, while he is near;
trust him, speak to him in prayer,
and he will hear.

God, be with us in our lives,
Direct us in our calling;
Break the snares the world contrives,
Keep us from falling.

Seek, O seek the Lord, while he is near;
trust him, speak to him in prayer,
and he will hear.

God, increase in us the life
That Christ by dying gave us:
Though we faint in mortal strife
His blood will save us.

Seek, O seek the Lord, while he is near;
trust him, speak to him in prayer,
and he will hear.

Strengthen in our hearts the love
We owe to one another;
How can we love God above
And not our brother?

Seek, O seek the Lord, while he is near;
trust him, speak to him in prayer,
and he will hear.
