I SEEK the kingdom first,
By A Collection of Hymns

      S.M. Matthew vi. 33.
      1 I SEEK the kingdom first,
      The gracious joy and peace;
      Thou know'st I hunger, Lord, and thirst
      After thy righteousness;
      My chief and sole desire
      Thine image to regain,
      And then to join the heavenly choir,
      And with thine ancients reign.

      2 My God will add the rest,
      Will outward good provide;
      But with thy kingdom in my breast
      I nothing want beside;
      Glory begun in grace
      Delightfully I prove,
      And earth and heaven at once possess
      In thy sufficient love.
