One Thing's Needful

Author: Johann H. Schröder, 1667-99; Frances E. Cox, 1812-97 Meter: 8.7.8.7.12.12.11.11 Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Celebration; Commitment; Education, Christian; Redeemer First Line: One thing's needful; Lord, this treasure 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, Can teach me in all things to find true delight. 2 If you seek this one thing needful, Turn from all created things; Turn to Jesus and be heedful Of the peace and joy he brings. For where God and man both in one are united, With love and forgiveness the heart is delighted; There, there is the worthiest lot and the best, Where Jesus alone is your joy and your rest. 3 How were Mary’s thoughts 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 wisdom that Christ was revealing! For Jesus all earthly concerns she forgot In love and devotion to what Jesus taught. 4 So my longings, upward tending, Jesus, rest alone on you. All my life on you depending, Teach me what to will and do. Although all the world should forsake and forget you, In love I would follow, I'll never desert you. The words of your teaching, O Lord, are my life, My joy and my peace in this vain world of strife. 5 Wisdom’s highest, noblest treasure, Jesus, is revealed in you. Let me find in you my pleasure, Make my will and actions true, Humility there and simplicity reigning, In paths of true wisdom my steps ever training. If I learn from Jesus this knowledge divine, The blessing of heavenly wisdom is mine. 6 Therefore you alone, my Savior, Shall be all in all to me: Search my heart and my behavior, Root out all hypocrisy. Through all my life’s pilgrimage, guard and uphold me, In loving forgiveness, O Jesus, enfold me. This one thing is needful, all others are vain; I count all but loss that I Christ may obtain!

Once to Every Man and Nation

Author: James Russell Lowell Appears in 203 hymnals Topics: The Christian Life Justice and Human Rights; Responses to God Commitment; Jesus Christ Passion and Crucifixion; The Christian Life Affirmation and Truth; The Christian Life Discipleship, Service, and Mission; The Christian Life Liberation and Justice; The Christian Life Life, Death, and Parting; Light and Darkness; People of Faith The Saints First Line: Once to ev'ry man and nation Lyrics: 1 Once to ev'ry man and nation Comes the moment to decide, In the strife of truth with falsehood, For the good or evil side; Some great cause, God's new Messiah, Off'ring each the bloom or blight, And the choice goes by forever Twixt that darkness and that light. 2 Then to side with truth is noble, When we share her wretched crust, Ere her cause bring fame and profit, And 'tis prosp'rous to be just; Then it is the brave one chooses While the coward stands aside, Till the multitude make virtue Of the faith they had denied. 3 By the light of burning martyrs, Christ, your bleeding feet we track, Toiling up new Calv'ries ever With the cross that turns not back; New occasions teach new duties, Time makes ancient good uncouth; They must upward still and onward, Who would keep abreast of truth. 4 Though the cause of evil prosper, Yet 'tis truth alone is strong; Though her portion be the scaffold, And upon the throne be wrong: Yet that scaffold sways the future, And, behind the dim unknown, Standeth God within the shadow Keeping watch above his own. Scripture: Romans 8:37 Used With Tune: TYZEN
