Afterwards, 177

"Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteous
ness, and all these things shall be added unto you''

THE earth is the Lord's, And all it contains,
The truth of His words For ever remains:
The saints have a mountain Of blessings in Him,
His grace is the fountain, His peace is the stream.

To Him our request We now have made known,
Who sees what is best For each of His own:
Our heathenish care We cast it aside,
He heareth the prayer, And God shall provide.

The modest and meek This earth shall possess;
The kingdom who seek Of Jesus's grace,
That power of His Spirit Shall joyfully own,
And all things inherit In virtue of one.

Whatever we need His bounty shall give,
And hallow the bread We daily receive;
We live by His blessing, (That Bread from above, )
All fulness possessing In Jesus's love.
