One Thing's Needful

Author: Frances E. Cox, 1812-97 Hymnal: Lutheran Service Book #536 (2006) Meter: 8.7.8.7.12.12.11.11 Scripture: Luke 10:42 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!
