One Thing Needful

Author: F. P. Daume Meter: 8.7.8.7.12.12.11.11 Appears in 4 hymnals Scripture: Luke 10:38-42 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!

One Thing's Needful; Lord, This Treasure

Author: Frances E. Cox; Johann H. Schröder Meter: 8.7.8.7.12.12.11.11 Appears in 6 hymnals Scripture: Luke 10:42 Lyrics: 1 One thing’s needful; Lord, this treasure Teach me highly to regard; All else, though it first give pleasure, Is a yoke that presses hard. Beneath it the heart is still fretting and striving, No true, lasting happiness ever deriving. The gain of this one thing all loss can requite And teach me in all things to find true delight. 2 Wilt thou find this one thing needful, Turn from all created things Unto Jesus and be heedful Of the blessed joy He brings. 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 How were Mary’s tho'ts devoted Her eternal joy to find As intent each word she noted, At her Savior’s feet reclined! How kindled her heart, how devout was its feeling, While hearing the lessons that Christ was revealing! For Jesus all earthly concerns she forgot, And all was repaid in that one happy lot. 4 Thus my longings, heav’nward tending, Jesus, rest alone on Thee. Help me, thus on Thee depending; Savior, come and dwell in me. Although all the world should forsake and forget Thee, In love I will follow Thee, ne’er will I quit Thee. Lord Jesus, both spirit and life is Thy Word; And is there a joy which Thou dost not afford? 5 Wisdom’s highest, noblest treasure, Jesus, lies concealed in Thee; Grant that this may still the measure Of my will and actions be, Humility there and simplicity reigning, In paths of true wisdom my steps ever training. Oh, if I of Christ have this knowledge divine, The fullness of heavenly wisdom is mine. 6 Naught have I, O Christ, to offer Naught but Thee, my highest Good. Naught have I, O Lord, to proffer But Thy crimson-colored blood. Thy death on the cross hath Death wholly defeated And thereby my righteousness fully completed; Salvation’s white raiments I there did obtain, And in them in glory with Thee I shall reign. 7. Therefore Thou alone, my Savior, Shalt be All in all to me; Search my heart and my behavior, Root out all hypocrisy. Restrain me from wand'ring on pathways unholy And through all life’s pilgrimage keep my heart lowly. This one thing is needful, all others are vain; I count all but loss that I Christ may obtain. Amen. Topics: The Redeemer Used With Tune: EINS IST NOT
