Hymn 237 – O may we be still and seek Him

Hymn 237 – “O may we be still and seek Him…,”
Music: 14th century carol;
Lyrics by Fay Linn.

O may we be still and seek Him, 

Seek with consecration whole, 

Listening thus to hear the message, 

Far from sense and hid in Soul.

He hath promised we shall find Him, 

Love divine its promise keeps; 

God is watching with the watchful, 

God is Life that never sleeps.

If we pray to Him in secret, 

Lift to Him the heart’s desire, 

We shall find our earthly longings 

All made pure by Love’s pure fire.

Then upon the precious metal 

God’s own image will appear, 

Faithfully to Him reflected, 

One with Him forever near.
