61. Go and Inquire

1 Searching the Scriptures, the blessed Scriptures,
Seeking the Saviour day by day,
Striving to learn the wondrous story,—
What does the blessed Bible say?

Refrain:
Go and inquire, the King commandeth;
Ask of the Lord for me and thee;
Knock at the open door of mercy,
Where there is pardon full and free.

2 Searching the Scriptures, the blessed Scriptures,
Seeking to know the heav’nly way,
Trying to reach the golden city,—
What does the blessed Bible say? [Refrain]

3 Searching the Scriptures, the blessed Scriptures,
Seeking the wand’rers by the way,
Trying to point a soul to Jesus,—
What does the blessed Bible say? [Refrain]
