Author: Georgiana M. Taylor, 1847-1915 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11577 Meter: 8.8.8.6 First Line: Seek ye first, not earthly pleasure Lyrics: 1 Seek ye first, not earthly pleasure,
Fading joy and failing treasure,
But the love that knows no measure,
Seek ye first, seek ye first.
2 Seek ye first God’s peace and blessing;
Ye have all if this possessing:
Come, your need and sin confessing,
Seek Him first, seek Him first.
3 Seek this first—be pure and holy;
Like the Master, meek and lowly;
Yielded to His service wholly:
Seek this first, seek this first.
4 Seek the coming of His kingdom;
Seek the souls around, to win them,
Seek to Jesus Christ to bring them;
Seek this first, seek this first.
5 Seek this first, His promise trying,
It is sure—all need supplying—
Heav’nly things—on Him relying—
Seek ye first, seek ye first. Languages: English Tune Title: PITCAIRN
