A fun and fast moving rendition of the words from the hymn with a new melody. Although the accompaniment looks complicated it is not, once the rhythm is understood. Originally written with guitar accompaniment and should be sung with a light, although strong, feeling.

Lyrics

Why Search the Future and the Past
Words by Charles Barlow

Why Search the Future and the Past?
Why search the future and the past?
Why do ye look with tearful eyes
And seek far off for paradise?

Before your feet Life’s pearl is cast.
As deathless as His spirit free,
The Perfect lives and works today,
As in the ancient prophets’ lay,

Where there’s an open eye to see.
Of all that was and is to come,
The present holds te Mind and Cause;
For God lives in eternal laws,

And here today upholds His throne.
Why search the future and the past?
Why search the future and the past?
Why do ye look with tearful eyes

And seek far off for paradise?
Before your feet Life’s pearl is cast.
Then rise and greet the signs that prove
Unreal the ages’ long lament;

The “one far off divine event” is now
And that event is Love (it is Love)
Why Search the Future and the Past?
Before your feet, before your feet Life’s pearl is cast
