Seek the Savior

lyricist: Belle Towne, 1878
Composer: Martin Towne

Oh

where is the Hope of the world?

’Twas cra­dled in Beth­le­hem’s stall;

Since Je­sus came down as a child

There’s hope

bless­èd hope for us all.

Seek the Sav­ior

ear­ly seek him to­day;

Ere the clouds of sor­row dark­en thy way;

God is rea­dy to re­ceive you now

Oh

bro­ther

come to­day.

Oh

where is the Light of the world?

The Sav­ior doth shine from above;

And makes e’en the night as the day

He light­ens our way with His love.

Oh

where is the Joy of the world?

’Tis cen­tered in Je­sus

our friend;

In Him is our well­spring of joy

The joy that is nev­er to end.

Oh

where is the Peace of the world?

’Tis found in our mas­ter di­vine;

Most pre­cious this to­ken to man

Oh

help us

our Sav­ior

be Thine.

Oh

Hope

cheer­ing Hope of the world;

O Light

saf­est guide on our way;

Oh

Joy

sweet­est an­gel of earth;

Oh Peace

be thou ours while we stay.
