1
\nSeek ye first the kingdom,
\n‘Tis your Father’s will.
\nSo the voice of Jesus bids us follow still.
\nSaviour, we would hear Thee,
\nFollow, find, and see;
\nAnd in life’s adventure Thy disciples be.<\/p>\n
2
\nAs for hidden treasure,
\nOr for matchless pearl,
\nWhen at last discovered,
\nsome will sell their all;
\nSo, when breaks the vision of that
\nkingdom fair,
\nOurs shall be its riches And its beauty rare.<\/p>\n
3
\nAs the silent leaven works its secret way,
\nOr as grows the seed grain
\nthrough the night and day;
\nLord, so be the increase, peaceable but sure,
\nOf Thy word within us,
\nAnd Thy kingdom’s power.<\/p>\n
4
\nAs the tender seedling grows up
\ntall and strong,
\nAnd the birds of heaven to its
\nbranches throng; So shall all God’s children,
\nfrom the east and west,
\nGather to His kingdom, In its shadow rest.<\/p>\n
5
\nHumblest shall be greatest,
\npoor in spirit reign;
\nHome shall come the childlike,
\nborn through Thee again;
\nEager hearts arrive there on the
\npilgrim’s road,
\nHail! The kingdom glorious of the living God!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
