Hymn 177

Seek ye the Lord all ye people

Joan Parsons

Verse 1

Seek ye the Lord all ye people,

Turn to Him while He is near.

Let the wicked forsake his own way

And call on Him while He may hear.

Ho everyone who is thirsty,

Come to the waters of life,

Come and drink of the milk and the wine,

Come without money and price.

Chorus

And there is peace like a river

And glory divine; If you’ll come to the water,

If you’ll taste of His wine.

There is love ever flowing; and joy ever full,

And there’s life everlasting for us all.

Verse 2

For you shall go out in joy

And be led forth in peace,

The mountains and hills before you shall sing

And the trees of the field clap their hands.

Instead of the thorns shall come cypress,

And myrtle replace every brier.

And it shall be to remember the Lord

An everlasting sign.

Chorus

And there is peace like a river

And glory divine; If you’ll come to the water,

If you’ll taste of His wine.

There is love ever flowing; and joy ever full,

And there’s life everlasting for us all.
