1. Not only when ascends the song, -
And soundeth sweet the word; -
Not only ’midst the Sabbath throng -
Our souls would seek the Lord.
2. We would not to our daily task -
Without our God repair; -
But in the world Thy presence ask, -
And seek Thy glory there.
3. Would we against some wrong be bold, -
And break some yoke abhorred? -
Amidst the strife and stir behold -
The seekers of the Lord!
4. When on Thy glorious works we gaze, -
There Thee we fain would see; -
Our gladness in their beauty raise, -
Our God, in joy to Thee!
5. Thy Sabbath day, believers seek, -
Thy grace is still outpoured; -
We work, we watch, we strive, we pray; -
Behold Thy seekers, Lord!
