Early seeking, early finding,
Ever happy, happy we;
Looking up in life’s sweet morning,
Coming, coming now to Thee,
|:We begin our children’s days,
Lord of Glory, with Thy praise:|
Early asking, early getting,
Ever happy, happy we;
We would ever, blessed Jesus,
Love and follow, follow Thee:
|:In Thy presence there is joy,
In Thy service blest employ:|
Early knocking, early opening,
Ever happy, happy we;
By the holy gate we enter,
Lord, to dwell, to dwell with Thee:
|:In the city of the blest,
In the home of heavenly rest.:|
Early loving, early trusting,
Ever happy, happy we,
Mounting upward, pressing onward,
Closer, closer drawn to Thee;
|:Earthly joys we leave behind,
All in Thee, O Christ, to find.:|
