Seek and See

Memorial Day (Observed)

"They that seek the Lord understand all things" (Proverbs 28:5). "And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon... waiting for the consolation of Israel.... And he came by the Spirit into the temple: and when the parents brought in the child Jesus... he took Him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said, Lord, now lettest Thou Thy servant depart in peace, according to Thy word: for mine eyes have the seen Thy salvation" (Luke 2:25-29). "He is a Rewarder of them that diligently seek Him" (Hebrews 11:6).

My eyes can see salvation
In Jesus Christ our Lord.
He is God's revelation;
The seeker's great reward.

As Simeon rejoiced to see
The Savior God had brought,
God has shown Him faithfully
To all those who have sought.

So may Christ remove the scales
That make our eyes so dim,
To seek and see that all else pales
Compared to life in Him.
