SEEK ye first, not earthly pleasure,

Seek ye first, not earth’s aspirings, Ceaseless longings, vain desirings; But your precious soul’s requirings: Seek this first.

Seek ye first God’s peace and blessing— You have all if this possessing; Come, your need and sin confessing: Seek Him first.

Seek Him first; then, when forgiven, Pardoned, made an heir of Heaven, Let your life to Him be given: Seek this first.

Seek this first: His promise trying— It is sure, all need supplying. Heavenly things—on Him relying— Seek ye first.
