Light in the Valley ‎#102

102. Seek Him Now

1 Are you waiting, only waiting
Till the race of life is run?
Are you watching only watching
For the setting of the sun?
Does the tender voice of mercy
Touch no chord within your soul?
Will you only heed the warning
When you're standing at the goal?

Chorus:
Seek him thou, seek him thou,
For the light is shining now;
Ere the cheek has lost its bloom
In the shadow of the tomb,
Seek him now, seek him now.

2 Are you feeding, only feeding
On the husk of worldly joys?
Are you playing idly playing
With life's brightly gilded toys?
Are you laying up no treasure
In that land beyond the veil,
Where the joys are everlasting,
And the pleasures never fail? [Chorus]

3 Are you waiting, only waiting
Till your bark shall slowly glide
O'er the solemn, silent river
To that land beyond the tide?
Will you slight the hand of Jesus
When your skies are fair and bright,
And then seek him, only seek him
At the fading of the light? [Chorus]
