Not sure this is the correct place to post this, but...
I'm a pastor in Minnesota. Years ago the choir at a former church sang a piece (late 19th century?) with lyrics that talked about the author seeking God only to find that God was seeking him the entire time. I am hoping to use the work in mid September, as it fits thematically.
Anyone have a clue?

Thanks!
Steve

Hi Steve. I've been a church organist for 30 years, but the piece you're describing doesn't ring a bell. You might try contacting the American Guild of Organists at www.agohq.org. They don't have a forum, but if you sent them an email I'll bet someone there could give you a hand.

I think the title of the hymn you want is "I sought the Lord and afterward I knew." If you type this string into Google, you will find numerous web sites to download lyrics and music. The tune for the hymn is well known from Sibelius' Finlandia
