Lyrics

Listen to the voice of the Sav­ior dear,
He speaks a word of match­less worth;
Seek the needy, poor and sad,
Give them aid and make them glad;
Seek ye now the needy ones of earth.

Refrain

Whatsoever ye may do,
With a heart of love, a pur­pose true,
In my Word ye shall see,
Ye have done it for Me,
And My bless­ing I give un­to you.

Tarry not and turn not in scorn and pride,
But fol­low in His steps to­day;
Seek them out, the weak, the poor,
Give them com­fort, swift and sure,
Ye shall sure­ly hear the Sav­ior say:

Refrain

Journey on your way with a watch­ful eye,
Journey with an out­stretched hand;
Seek the needy, dry their tears,
Heal their sor­rows, calm their fears,
Jesus sees and glad­ly un­der­stands.
