Thou bid'st us to seek Thee early
Appears in 13 hymnals Matching Instances: 4 Lyrics: 1 Thou bid'st us seek Thee early,
And we shall surely find;
We come, O blessed Jesus,
Our Saviour true and kind!
We come in time of gladness,
We come in hours of grief,
With childhood's joys so transient,
With childhood's sorrow brief.
2 We have not seen the glory
Which Bethlehem's shepherds saw,
Nor heard the midnight anthem
They heard with wondering awe;
In rapturous haste they sought Thee,
The Christ so lowly born;
We, too, would seek Thee early
In life's rejoicing morn.
3 Lord, give us now Thy Spirit;
Grant us Thy constant grace,
Till, having sought Thee early,
At length we see Thy face;
See Thee in cloudless glory,
The Lamb who once was slain;
And join the host of ransomed
Who follow in Thy train.
Amen. Topics: Prayer Used With Tune: MCKAY

We sing a loving Jesus
Come, praise your Lord and Saviour
Author: Bishop W. W. How Meter: 7.6 D Appears in 56 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1. Come, praise your Lord and Saviour
In strains of holy mirth!
Give thanks to Him, O children,
Who lived a child on earth!
He loved the little children
And called them to His side;
His loving arms embraced them,
And for their sake He died.
2. O Jesus, we would praise Thee
With songs of holy joy;
For Thou on earth didst sojourn,
A pure and spotless boy.
Make us like Thee, obedient,
Like Thee from sin-stains free,
Like Thee in God's own temple,
In lowly home, like Thee.
3. O Jesus, we too praise Thee,
The lowly maiden's son:
In Thee all gentlest graces
Are gathered into one.
Oh, give that best adornment
That Christian maid can wear,
The meek and quiet spirit,
Which shone in Thee so fair!
4. O Lord, with voices lifted
We sing our songs of praise;
Be Thou the light and pattern
Of all our childhood days;
And lead us ever onward,
That while we stay below,
We may, like Thee, O Jesus,
In grace and wisdom grow.
Amen. Topics: For Children Used With Tune: [Come, praise your Lord and Saviour]
