In Memory: Margaret Hackler Hill 1907 -2010

Look for the beautiful, look for the true;
Look for the beautiful, life's journey thro',
Seeking true loveliness, joy you will know,
As to the home above onward you go.

Think of the beautiful, think of the pure;
Only the beautiful long can endure.
God to His lowly ones"giveth more grace";
None but the pure in heart look on his face.

Speak of the beautiful, speak of the pure;
These to eternity fadeless endure.
Error shall vanish soon, evil decay;
God and the beautiful pass not away.

Refrain: Look for the beautiful, seek to find the true,
God and the beautiful will dwell with you;
Look for the beautiful, seek to find the true,
You shall be beautiful, beautiful within.

Hymn words and music: Thoro Harris, 1911
