Seek Not Afar for Beauty

Author: Minot Judson Savage, 1841-1918 Hymnal: Singing the Living Tradition #77 (1993) Meter: 10.10.10.10 First Line: Seek not afar for beauty; lo, it glows Lyrics: 1 Seek not afar for beauty; lo, it glows in dew-wet grasses all bout your feet, in birds, in sunshine, childish faces sweet, in stars and mountain summits topped with snows. 2 Go not abroad for happiness; behold it is a flower blooming at your door. Bring love and justice home, and evermore joy shall be yours as changing years unfold. 3 In wonder-workings or some bush aflame, we look for Truth and fancy it concealed; but in earth's common things it stands revealed, while grass and flowers and stars spell out the name.
