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: Education, Christian 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!

The Gospel Shows the Father's Grace

Author: Matthias Loy, 1828-1915 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 17 hymnals Topics: Christian Home and Education Lyrics: 1 The Gospel shows the Father's grace, Who sent His Son to save our race, Proclaims how Jesus lived and died That we might thus be justified. 2 It sets the Lamb before our eyes, Who made the atoning sacrifice, And calls the souls with guilt oppressed To come and find eternal rest. 3 It brings the Savior's righteousness To robe our souls in royal dress; From all our guilt it brings release And gives the troubled conscience peace. 4 It is the pow'r of God to save From sin and Satan and the grave; It works the faith which firmly clings To all the treasures which it brings. 5 It bears to all the tidings glad And bids their hearts no more be sad; The weary, burdened souls it cheers And banishes their guilty fears. 6 May we in faith its message learn Nor thanklessly its blessings spurn; May we in faith its truth confess And praise the Lord, our righteousness. Scripture: Romans 1:16-17 Used With Tune: HERR JESU CHRIST, DICH ZU UNS WEND

The Law of God Is Good and Wise

Author: Matthias Loy, 1828-1915, alt. Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 20 hymnals Topics: Christian Home and Education Lyrics: 1 The Law of God is good and wise And sets His will before our eyes, Shows us the way of righteousness, And dooms to death when we transgress. 2 Its light of holiness imparts The knowledge of our sinful hearts That we may see our lost estate And turn from sin before too late. 3 To those who help in Christ have found And would in works of love abound It shows what deeds are His delight And should be done as good and right. 4 But those who scornfully disdain God's Law shall then in sin remain; Its terror in their ear resounds And keeps their wickedness in bounds. 5 The Law is good; but since the fall Its holiness condemns us all; It dooms us for our sin to die And has no pow'r to justify. 6 To Jesus we for refuge flee, Who from the curse has set us free, And humbly worship at His throne, Saved by His grace through faith alone. Scripture: Psalm 19:7-8 Used With Tune: ERHALT UNS, HERR
