Lyrics

Listen to the voice of the Savior dear,
He speaks a word of matchless worth;
Seek the needy, poor and sad,
Give them aid and make them glad;
Seek ye now the needy ones of earth.

Refrain

Whatsoever ye may do,
With a heart of love, a purpose true,
In my Word ye shall see,
Ye have done it for Me,
And My blessing I give unto you.

Tarry not and turn not in scorn and pride,
But follow in His steps today;
Seek them out, the weak, the poor,
Give them comfort, swift and sure,
Ye shall surely hear the Savior say:

Refrain

Journey on your way with a watchful eye,
Journey with an outstretched hand;
Seek the needy, dry their tears,
Heal their sorrows, calm their fears,
Jesus sees and gladly understands.
