One Thing's Needful

Author: Frances E. Cox, 1812-97 Meter: 8.7.8.7.12.12.11.11 Appears in 6 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 9:14 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. This one thing is needful; all others are vain-- I count all but loss that I Christ may obtain! 2 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 lessons that Christ was revealing! All earthly concerns she forgot for her Lord And found her contentment in hearing His Word. 3 Wisdom’s highest, noblest treasure, Jesus, is revealed in You. Let me find in You my pleasure, And my wayward will subdue, 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. 4 Nothing have I, Christ, to offer, You alone, my highest good. Nothing have I, Lord, to proffer But Your crimson-colored blood. Your death on the cross has death wholly defeated And thereby my righteousness fully completed; Salvation's white raiments I there did obtain, And in them in glory with You I shall reign. 5 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!

Meter: Irregular Appears in 5 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 9:11-12 First Line: The Eternal speaks, all heaven attends Lyrics: 1 Th' Eternal speaks: All heav'n attends: Who that unhappy race defends, While justice aims the blow? See nature tremble at their fates: Death with his iron sceptre waits: Hell opes her adamantine gates, And triumphs at their woe. 2 Which of the bright celestial throng, With Love so warm, and heart so strong, Dares languish on a cross? Who can leave liberty for chains? Abandon ecstacy, for pains? What angel fortitude sustains Th' inestimable Loss. 3 He said: And death like silence reign'd: Deep was their awe: The radiant band, The mighty task declin'd, At once, heav'n's Prince the silence broke, And ardent thus, the Sire bespoke, "None, but thy Son can ward the stroke;, Ten let the task be mine. 4 Mine, be the feeble infant state; Mine, in return for love be hate; A manger be my throne. Pain, when thy glory calls, is bliss; When man's in danger, torture's peace; Shame praise; a paradise th' abyss: Then yield thy darling Son." 5 Th' Almignty radiance smil'd assent, Loud was the shout that ether rent, All heav'n was in amaze. Be born, in anguish to expire;" Earth triumph: Angels strike the lyre, To everlasting praise. Topics: The Wonders of Redemption, celebrated in Songs of Praise Text Sources: Knapp's Psalmody
