Grep only first value from files?

Question

bash

Please tell me, is it possible to do grep -h -r date document.xml, but only the first value that is in the document, and ignore the rest occurring after?
Thanks in advance!

UPD
Thank you, it works, but if I search in all files in a subdirectory, and there are 29 of them,
grep -h -r xdms:date */*document.xml | head -n 1

then prints only the first value from the first file.

grep -h -r date document.xml | head -n 1
