"SEEK YE FIRST THE KINGDOM"

DAISY L. STWALLEY.

Would you run and not be weary,
Would you walk and never faint,
Would you gain eternal freedom?
Never listen to complaint.
Would you see your skies grow brighter
Unto everlasting day?
Seek ye first of all the kingdom;
Christ will lead you all the way.

Would you drink the living water,
Would you eat the bread of Life,
Would you heal the broken-hearted,
Banish every sense of strife?
Claim for yours each precious promise
Writ by patriarch of old;
Seek ye first of all the kingdom;
It will wondrous wealth unfold.

Turn aside from golden glitter,
Tread the path that Jesus trod;
Though at times your footsteps falter,
You are safe in trusting God.
Find the love that is eternal,
Learn the truth that is the light;
Seek ye first of all the kingdom;
Know that God is always right.
