The One Thing Needful

Author: W. Gadsby Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns for Public Worship. In four parts (10th ed.) (Gadsby's Hymns) #574 (1844) Meter: 7.6 Topics: Christ All and In All First Line: What a precious needful thing Lyrics: 1 What a precious, needful thing, Is the Lord and Saviour! Zion shall his mercy sing, Now, henceforth, and ever. In him a rich fulness dwells, And is freely given; Law and conscience Jesus quells; Crooked things makes even. 2 Mercy from his bosom flows, Free as any river; He redresses all the woes Of a weak believer. Sinners in corruption’s pit Know they greatly need him; He and he alone is fit From it to relieve them. 3 He is needful as our All; May we cleave unto him; Every blessing, great and small, Flows to Zion through him; Happy is the man indeed, Who has such a Saviour; Every blessing he can need, Dwells in him for ever.

All in All; or, the Testimony concerning Jesus, the soil of prophecy

Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCV (1792) Topics: Characters and Representations of Christ All in All; Christ All in All First Line: The bible is justly esteem'd Lyrics: 1 The bible is justly esteem'd The glory supreme of the land, Which shows how a sinner's redeem'd And brought to Jehovah's right hand. With pleasure we freely confess The bible all books does outshine, But Jesus, his person and grace, Affords it that lustre divine. 2 In every prophetical book Where God his decrees hath unseal'd, With joy we behold as we look, The wonderful savioyr reveal'd: His glories project to the eye, And prove it was not his design, Those glories concealed should lie, But there in full majesty shine. 3 The first gracious promise to man, A blessed prediction appears, His work is the soul of the plan, And gives it the glory it wears. How cheering the truth must have been, That Jesus the promised seed, Should triumph o'er Satan and sin, And hell in captivity lead! 4 The ancient Levitical law Was prophecy after its kind, In types there the faithful foresaw The savior that ransom'd mankind. The altar, the lamb, and the priest, The blood that was sprinkled of old Had life, when the people could taste, The blessing those shadows foretold. 5 Review each prophetical song, Which shines in prediction's rich train, The sweetest to Jesus belong, And point out his sufferings and reign: Sure David his harp never strung, With more of true sacred delight, Than when of the savior he sung, And he was reveal'd to his sight. 6 May Jesus more precious become— His word be a lamp to our feet, While we in the wilderness roam, 'Till brought in his presence to meet! Then, then will we gaze on thy face, Our prophet, our priest, and our king; Recount all thy wonders of grace, Thy praises eternally sing. Scripture: Revelation 19:10 Languages: English
