One Thing Only, Lord, Is Needful

Author: H. Brueckner; J. H. Schroeder Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #222 (1930) Meter: 8.7.8.7.12.12.11.11 Hymnal Title: American Lutheran Hymnal Lyrics: 1 One thing only, Lord, is needful; Teach Thou me but this to know. All things else, tho' fair appearing, Prove a heavy yoke of woe. Beneath it the heart, with its pining and fretting, Finds naught of true pleasure, new failures regretting. But one thing is needful, that must I possess; This one thing for all things assures me redress. 2 O how Mary's heart was longing For contentment pure and sweet When, aglow with true devotion, She reclined at Jesus' feet! Her soul, to the Master in ecstasy turning, No longer in vain for salvation was yearning; Her being was wholly to Jesus inclined, Thus finding the one thing for which she had pined. 3 Even so would I in rapture, Dearest Jesus, cling to Thee; Grant that I, to Thee united, May Thy faithful member be. Tho' many return to the world and its pleasure, In love Thy communion I ever shall treasure. Thy Word is both spirit and life to me, Lord. Nor is there a blessing Thou dost not afford. 4 Naught have I to win God's favor, Naught but Thee, my highest Good; Thou my rescue hast effected By the shedding of Thy blood. True righteousness, Jesus, the fruit of Thy merit, My soul, if it trust but in Thee, doth inherit; The robes of salvation most surely are mine, And in them my faith will for evermore shine. 5 Therefore, O my faithful Master, Thou my One and All shalt be; Prove my heat's intent most closely, From dissembling purge Thou me. Lest I with the wicked my lot should be casting, Lead Thou me, O Lord, in the way everlasting. This one thing is needful, all others are vain; I count them as loss, that I Jesus may gain.

One Thing Needful

Author: F. P. Daume Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary #182 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7.12.12.11.11 Hymnal Title: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary First Line: One thing needful! This one treasure Lyrics: 1 One thing needful! This one treasure Teach me, Savior, to esteem; Other things may promise pleasure, But are never what they seem; They prove to be burdens that vex us and chafe us, And true lasting happiness never vouchsafe us; This one precious treasure, that all else exceeds, Gives joy above measure and fills all my needs. 2 Seekest thou the one thing needful, Leave all cares that hind'ring prove; Be of earthly joys unheedful, Fix thy heart on things above; For where God and man both in one are united, With God's perfect fullness the heart is delighted; There, there is the worthiest lot and the best, My one and my all, and my joy, and my rest. 3 Then with Mary's full surrender, I would offer Thee my heart, At Thy feet my tribute render, As my chosen better part. For Mary's heart burning with fervent emotion, Was quickened to serve Thee with perfect devotion; And there filled with love for her Savior and Lord, Was, with the One needful, in blessed accord. 4 Thus, I Jesus, my endeavor Is to be forever Thine. Let no mortal love whatever Hind'ring now my heart entwine. Though great be the host that refuses to need Thee, I'll faithfull follow where'er Thou wilt lead me; For Thy Word is Spirit and life to my soul, And through it, O Jesus, my conduct control. 5 Wisdom's fountain ever-flowing Has its highest source in Thee. By Thy grace confine my going In Thy footseteps, trod for me; In which I with lowly and perfect submission May bend to Thy wisdom my will and ambition; And when, O my Savior, I know Thee aright I then shall have risen to wisdom's great height. 6 I have naught, my God, to offer, Save the blood of Thy dear Son; Graciously accept the proffer: Make His righteousness mine own. His holy life gave He, was crucified for me; His righteousness perfect He now pleads before Thee; His own robe of righteousness, my highest good, Shall clothe me in glory, through faith in His blood.l 7 In Thine image then awaking, May my soul be all Thine own; Of Thy holy life partaking, Sanctified to Thee alone. For all that I need here, to serve and obery Thee, In Thee I receive--and my Savior, I pray Thee: From things transitory, absorbing my love, Withdraw mine affections, and fix them above. 8 Jesus, in Thy cross are centered All the marvels of Thy grace; Thou, my Savior, once hast entered Through Thy blood the holy place: Thy sacrifice holy there wrought my redemption, From Satan's dominion I now have excemption; The way is now free to the Father's high throne, Where I may approach Him, In Thy name alone. 9 Joys unnumbered, peace and blessing, Are the comforts full and free, Richly now I am possessing, For my Savior shepherds me. How sweet the communion, beyond all expression, To have Thee, O Jesus, as my hearts' possession. O nothing in me can such ardor unfold As when I Thee, Savior, in faith shall behold. 10 Henceforth Thou alone, my Savior, Shalt be all in all to me. Search my heart and my behavior, Cast out all hypocrisy. Restrain me from wand'ring in pathways unholy, And throughout life's pilgrimage keep my heart lowly; I'll value but lightly earth's treausre and store: Thou art the One needful, and mine evermore!
