Seeking and Seeing

"The works of the LORD are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein" (Psalm 111:2). "It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honor of kings is to search out a matter" (Proverbs 25:2). "Seek ye out of the book of the LORD, and read: no one of these shall fail; none shall want her mate: for My mouth it hath commanded, and His Spirit hath gathered them" (Isaiah 34:16). "God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace to the humble.... Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He shall lift you up" (James 4:6-10).

How great are the works of the Lord to behold;
What pleasure to see them unveiled!
We search in the Scriptures and see them foretold:
Not one of their prophecies failed!

The glory of God may conceal such things
From those who are worldly wise,
But those who are humble are honored as kings
With grace that will open their eyes.

O Lord, we give thanks for the greatest of pleasure
We find as Your works are explored!
How great is our joy! How vast is our treasure
Revealed in Jesus our Lord!
