Seek, O Seek the Lord

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 with 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.
