When at the door, as darkness falls

1 When at the door, as darkness falls,
A neighbour, unexpected calls
To beg a loaf of bread
And we respond to meet that plea
So God himself, wholeheartedly,
Fulfils our deepest need.

2 To those who seek, the Father gives:
In them the Holy Spirit lives
His harvest to increase.
To those who seek, that Spirit brings
The wisdom and the strength of kings
And love and joy and peace.
