Seek Ye First (Hewitt)

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.
