I Will Seek my Father

Author: Paulina Appears in 23 hymnals First Line: When the morn is bright and fair Lyrics: 1 When the morn is bright and fair, When sweet songsters charm the air, I will lift my voice in pray'r, I will seek my Father; Lest my feet should go astray From his pure and perfect way; Lest I grieve him as I may, I will seek my Father. 2 In the solitude apart, In the wilderness or mart, Oh! my sorely tempted heart, I will seek my Father; In the darkness as the day, He shall be my Guide and Stay; I will lean on him alway-- I will seek my Father. 3 When the evening sun is red, When each blossom droops its head, Kneeling low beside my bed, I will seek my Father; That I slumber in his care, Shielded from each harmful snare, And for life or death prepare; I will seek my Father.
