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
