Seek ye first the kingdom;
not the things of earth.
Priceless are the treasures
of immortal worth.
Like a flitting shadow,
time will pass away,
But the heav’nly riches
change not, nor decay.
“Seek ye first the kingdom,”
’tis the Master’s voice;
In His precious promise
evermore rejoice.
“All things else,” His words are true,
“shall be added unto you.”
In His precious promise,
evermore rejoice.
Seek ye first the kingdom;
seek the gift of God.
’Tis the Savior’s offer purchased
by His blood.
Seek ye first His glory;
be it life’s sweet aim;
Him to serve and honor,
trusting in His Name.
“Seek ye first the kingdom,”
’tis the Master’s voice;
In His precious promise
evermore rejoice.
“All things else,” His words are true,
“shall be added unto you.”
In His precious promise,
evermore rejoice.
