Early, Early I Will Seek Him

Early, early I will seek Him
Seek Him first, foremost of all.
Heaven's dew is then the freshest,
That on me His grace may fall.

Seek Him earnestly and often,
Seek Him while He may be found.
Once the hardened heart has softened,
Then we are on praying ground.

Seek Him when your visions perish,
Plans derailed by Satan's darts.
He's the One who said He'd cherish
Prayers that spring from humble hearts.

Seek Him when there's joy abounding,
Blessings showered all around.
Grateful praise too often missing,
Thankful hearts too seldom found.

Seek Him and He'll not forsake you.
Seek Him on behalf of friends.
Adverse gales that may assail you
He can turn to pleasant winds.

Seek Him first in youthful vigor,
Seek Him 'til life's at its end.
For our faith cannot grow bigger
Lest we seek Him friend to friend.
