Hymn
Seek Him While He May Be Found
1My son! know thou the Lord,
Thy father’s God obey,
Seek his protecting care by night,
His guardian hand by day.
Call while he may be found,
And seek him while he's near;
Serve him with all thy heart and mind,
And worship him in fear.
If Thou wilt seek his face,
His ear will hear thy cry;
Then shalt thou find his mercy sure,
His grace for ever nigh.
Closing Hymn:
Once more before we part,
Oh bless the Saviour's name;
Let every tongue and every heart,
Adore and praise the same.
Lord in thy grace we came,
That blessing still impart;
We meet in Jesus' sacred name,
In Jesus' name we part.
Thus nurtured by thy word,
May each in wisdom grow,
And still go on to know the Lord,
And practice what we know.
