"Seek Where Ye May to Find a Way" by Georg Weissel, 1590-1635 Translated by Arthur Voss 1899-1955 Text From: THE LUTHERAN HYMNAL (St. Louis: Concordia Publishing House, 1941) 1. Seek where ye may To find a way That leads to your salvation; My heart is stilled, On Christ I build, He is the one Foundation. His Word is sure, His works endure; He doth o'erthrow My every foe; Through Him I more than conquer. 2. Seek whom ye may To be your stay; None can redeem his brother. All helpers failed, This Man prevailed, The God-man, and none other. Our Servant-Lord Did help afford; We're justified, For He hath died, The Guiltless for the guilty. 3. Seek Him alone, Who did atone, Who did your souls deliver; Yea, seek Him first, All ye who thirst For grace that faileth never. In every need Seek Him indeed; To every heart He will impart His blessings without measure. 4. My heart's Delight, My Crown most bright, Thou, Jesus, art forever. Nor wealth nor pride Nor aught beside Our bond of love shall sever. Thou art my Lord; Thy precious Word Shall be my guide, Whate'er betide. Oh, teach me, Lord, to trust Thee! 5. Hide not from me, I ask of Thee, Thy gracious face and favor. Though floods of woe Should o'er me flow, My faith shall never waver. From pain and grief Grant sweet relief; For tears I weep, Lord, let me reap Thy heavenly joy and glory. ________________________________________________ Notes: Hymn #383 from _The Lutheran Hymnal_ Text: Acts 4:12 Author: Georg Weissel, 1623 Translated by: Arthur Voss, 1938 Titled: "Such', wer da will, ein ander Ziel" Composer: Johann Stobaeus, 1613, ad.
