Traditional
Seek and Ye Shall Find
Knock and the door shall be opened
Ask, and it shall be given
And the love comes a-tricklin' down.
My brother, the Lord has spoken
My sister, the Lord has spoken
My brother, the Lord has spoken,
And the love comes a-tricklin' down.
OK, that's what I have in memory, and that tricklin' may come from the trickle-down theory or something. Here are the lyrics from an actual, printed book called "Songs," by Yohann Anderson:
(If you just) Seek and you shall find
Knock and the door shall be opened,
Ask, and it shall be given
And the love will come a-tum-ba-lin down.
1. On every door I knocked full measure
Some they offered fame and pleasure
But I found life's greatest treasure
When the love came a-tum-ba-lin down.
2. Life is a long hard journey and
To Him it matters where it ends
So make the journey count my friend
And Love will come a-tum-ba-lin down.
3. I know that the Lord is with us
I know that the Lord is with us
I know that the Lord is with us
And the love will come a tum-ba-lin down
4. I know that the Lord has shown me. (repeat twice more)
And the love will come a tum-ba-lin down
5. I know that the Lord has told me (repeat twice more)
And the love will come a tum-ba-lin down
