“Always Seeking”
REGENT SQUARE 8.7.8.7.8.7 (“Angels From the Realms of Glory”)
Text: Anna Strickland, 2022
Music: Henry Thomas Smart, 1866
As the wise men scanned the heavens
There they saw Christ’s natal star
Then began the long procession
Seeking him in country far
Refrain:
Always seeking, moving onward
Following where God may lead
When they reached King Herod’s palace
Asking where to find the child
Herod schemed in all his malice
This new king himself to find
Refrain
Fleeing from the wrath of Herod
Joseph led his family
Seeking in the desert arid
Safety there as refugees
Refrain
Seeking signs or seeking power
Seeking safety, seeking home
Day by day and hour by hour
We press on toward the unknown
Refrain
