224 Seek Ye First the Kingdom
[1]
Seek ye first the kingdom Tis your Father s will.
So the voice of Jesus bids us follow still.
Savior we would hear Thee Follow find and see;
And in life s adventure Thy disciples be.

As for hidden treasure Or for matchless pearl
When at last discovered some will sell their all:
So when breaks the vision of that kingdom fair
Ours shall be its riches and its beauty rare.

As the silent leaven works its secret way
Or as grows the seed grain through the night and day;
Lord so be the increase peaceable but sure
Of Thy word within us And Thy kingdom s power.

As the tender seedling grows up tall and strong
And the birds of heaven to its branches throng;
So shall all God s children from the east and west
Gather to His kingdom In its shadow rest.

Humblest shall be greatest poor in spirit reign;
Home shall come the childlike born through Thee again
Eager hearts arrive there on the pilgrim s road
Hail! the kingdom glorious of the living God!
