Matthew 6:33: Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His, &c
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Religion
Seek the kingdom first.
The gracious joy and peace,
Thou know'st, I hunger, Lord, and thirst
After Thy righteousness;
My chief, and sole desire
Thine image to regain,
And then to join Thine heavenly choir,
And with Thine ancients reign.
