Seek Ye First (Taylor)

Seek ye first

not earth­ly plea­sure

Fading joy and fail­ing trea­sure

But the love that knows no mea­sure

Seek ye first

seek ye first.

Seek ye first God’s peace and bless­ing;

Ye have all if this pos­sess­ing:

Come

your need and sin con­fess­ing

Seek Him first

seek Him first.

Seek this first—be pure and ho­ly;

Like the Mas­ter

meek and low­ly;

Yielded to His serv­ice whol­ly:

Seek this first

seek this first.

Seek the com­ing of His king­dom;

Seek the souls around

to win them

Seek to Je­sus Christ to bring them;

Seek this first

seek this first.

Seek this first

His pro­mise try­ing

It is sure—all need sup­ply­ing—

Heav’nly things—on Him re­ly­ing—

Seek ye first

seek ye first.
