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.
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.
