Seek Ye First Words: Eliza Hewitt, Music: John Sweney. PD
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.
Refrain "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.
Refrain "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. *
