no true, lasting happiness ever deriving.
This one thing is needful; all others are vain—
I count all but loss that I Christ may obtain.

her eternal joy to find
as intent each word she noted
at her Savior’s feet reclined!

All earthly concerns she forgot for her Lord
and found her contentment in hearing his Word.

Jesus, is revealed in you.

make my will and actions true,

the blessing of heavenly wisdom is mine. Topics: Word of God Scripture: Luke 10:38-42 Used With Tune: EINS IST NOT
