Text:Seek First the Kingdom of God
Author:H. N. L.
Tune:[Trav'ler on life's great highway]
Composer:H. N. Lincoln

100. Seek First the Kingdom of God

1. Trav'ler on life's great highway,
Striving for earthly dross,
Tho' you amass a fortune,
Yet it may prove a loss;
Seek first our Father's Kingdom,
Come to His peaceful fold,
Here you will find a treasure
More to be sought than gold.

Refrain:
Seek first the Kingdom of God,
And His righteousness,
And all these things shall be added
Unto you.

2. See to it now, my brother,
Be not deceived, I pray,
Shun the broad road of folly,
Enter the narrow way;
Look to your future welfare
While the bright moments roll;
When this brief life is ended,
How then will fare your soul? [Refrain]

3. Vain are the world's allurements;
Fleeting the joys of sin;
Fail not to seek God's Kingdom,
Jesus will let you in;
Then to you shall be added
Riches in earthly store,
All that you need He'll give you,
How could you wish for more? [Refrain]
