Those that seek Me early shall find Me.
Proverbs 8:17
Words: Eliza E. Hewitt, in The Young People’s Hymnal (Nashville, Tennessee: Publishing House, Methodist Episcopal Church, South, 1890).
Music: John R. Sweney (🔊 pdf nwc).
Life wears a different face to me,
Since I found my Savior;
Rich mercy at the cross I see,
My dying, living Savior.
Refrain
Golden sunbeams round me play;
Jesus turns my night to day;
Heaven seems not far away,
Since I found my Savior.
He sought me in His wondrous love,
So I found my Savior;
He brought salvation from above,
My dear, almighty Savior.
Refrain
The passing clouds may intervene,
Since I found my Savior;
But He is with me, though unseen,
My ever present Savior.
Refrain
A strong hand kindly holds my own,
Since I found my Savior;
It leads me onward to the throne,
Oh, there I’ll see my Savior!
