\"Mountain<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cBut seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you\u201d (Matthew 6:33).<\/p>\n

Pressing on We Journey<\/strong><\/p>\n

Christ our greatest treasure,
\nHe our highest aim!
\nChrist our deepest comfort,
\nHim we now acclaim!
\nBy His death, He saved us,
\nBy His life, we live.
\nTo the King of glory,
\nAll our lives we give .<\/p>\n

Pressing on, we journey,
\nChrist we now confess,
\nSeeking first His kingdom
\nAnd His righteousness.<\/p>\n

Rescued from destruction,
\nTold to seek the light;
\nPulled up from the mire,
\nFitted for the fight.
\nChrist, in every instance
\nGuides us in the Way,
\nGraciously providing
\nMercies every day.<\/p>\n

Pressing on, we journey,
\nPilgrims we progress,
\nSeeking first His kingdom
\nAnd His righteousness.<\/p>\n

Fret not for tomorrow,
\nFear not past regrets.
\nHe heals every sorrow,
\nSure the course He sets.
\nAll these things are added,
\nWhat to eat and wear;
\nAll our needs provided,
\nBy His loving care.<\/p>\n

Pressing on, we journey,
\nJoys we now possess,
\nSeeking first His kingdom
\nAnd His righteousness.<\/p>\n

We long for that day when
\nWe’ll see face to face
\nChrist, the King of Glory,
\nFull of truth and grace.
\nBut until that moment,
\nFinally He descends,
\nWe will ever seek Him,
\nFaithful to the end.<\/p>\n

Pressing on, we journey,
\nHope we now express,
\nSeeking first His kingdom
\nAnd His righteousness.<\/p>\n

This hymn, from the album The Lord is My Delight<\/em><\/a>, is based on Jesus’ command in Matthew 6:33 to seek “first His kingdom and His righteousness” and on John Bunyan’s allegory The Pilgrim’s Progress<\/em>.<\/p>\n
