'Tis the Most Blessed and Needful Part

Author: Christian Renatus von Zinzendorf; Christian Gregor; Philip Heinrich Molthar Appears in 10 hymnals Lyrics: 1 ‘Tis the most blessed and needful part to have in Christ a share, and to commit our way and heart unto his faithful care; this done, our steps are safe and sure, our hearts’ desires are rendered pure, and naught can pluck us from his hand, which lead us to the end. 2 Naught in this world affords true rest but Christ’s atoning blood. This purifies the guilty breast, and reconciles to God. Hence flows unfeigned love to him who came lost sinners to redeem, and Christ our Savior now appears daily to us more dear. 3 My lasting joy and comfort here is Jesus’ death and blood; I with this passport can appear before the throne of God. Admitted to the realms above, I then shall see the Christ I love, where countless pardoned sinners meet adoring at his feet.

Author: John Beck Holmes, 1767-1843; Johann K. Schade, 1666-1698 Appears in 10 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Look up, my soul, to Christ, thy joy, With a believing mind; With all the ills which thee annoy The way to Jesus find; Here in this world thou hast no home, Nor lasting joy; to Jesus come, He is the Pearl of greatest price, Who all thy wants supplies. 2 Steadfast in faith to Jesus cleave, His faithfulness review, And every burden with Him leave, Whose love is daily new; His ways with thee are just and right, He puts thy enemies to flight, However threatening they appear; Take courage, He is near. 3 Arise and seek the things above; Let heaven be all thy aim, Where Jesus dwells in bliss and love, And earth and sin disclaim; The world and all its empty joy His potent breath will once destroy; Abiding rest and peace of mind In Christ alone we find.

Benade, 1746-1830 Appears in 8 hymnals First Line: How needful, strictly to inquire Lyrics: 1 How needful, strictly to inquire And ask our hearts each day, “Doth Jesus’ love me still inspire, My thoughts and actions sway? Am I a branch in Christ, the Vine? Am I His own, and is He mine? Do I by faith unto Him cleave, And to His honor live?” 2 The Spirit’s witness, full and clear, Will state the real case, And either draw a contrite tear Or thanks unfeigned raise; Hence will the consequence ensue, That the full purpose we renew, To run in faith the appointed race, Supported by His grace.
