G. M. Taylor (455/413) -- Hymns and Spiritual Songs

G. M. Taylor SEEK ye first, not earthly pleasure, Fading joy and failing treasure, But the love that knows no measure Seek ye first. 2 Seek ye first, not earth’s aspirings, Ceaseless longings, vain desirings, But your precious soul’s requirings Seek ye first. 3 Seek ye first God’s peace and blessing; Ye have all if this possessing: Come, your need and sin confessing, Seek Him first. 4 Seek Him first, then when forgiven, Pardoned, made an heir of heaven, Let your life to Him be given: Seek this first. 5 Seek this first―Be pure and holy; Like the Master, meek and lowly; Yielded to His service wholly: Seek this first. 6 Seek the coming of His kingdom; Seek the souls around, to win them, Seek to Jesus Christ to bring them: Seek this first. 7 Seek this first, His promise trying, It is sure―all need supplying― Heavenly things, on Him relying, Seek ye first.
