O love divine, how sweet thou art!

Author: C. Wesley Appears in 379 hymnals Scripture: Luke 10:39-42 Lyrics: 1 O love divine, how sweet thou art! When shall I find my longing heart All taken up by thee? I thirst, I faint, I die to prove The greatness of redeeming love, The love of Christ to me. 2 God only knows the love of God; Oh, that it now were shed abroad In my poor, longing heart! For love I sigh, for love I pine; This only portion, Lord, be mine; Be mine this better part. 3 Oh, that I may forever sit, With Mary, at the Master's feet: Be this my happy choice-- My only care, delight, and bliss, My joy, my heaven on earth be this, To hear the Bridegroom's voice. 4 Oh, that I may, with favored John, Recline my weary head upon The dear Redeemer's breast! From care and sin and sorrow free, Give me, O Lord, to find in thee My everlasting rest. Topics: The Christian System Adoption And Sanctification; Perfect Love

One Thing's Needful; Lord, This Treasure

Author: Frances E. Cox; Johann H. Schröder Meter: 8.7.8.7.12.12.11.11 Appears in 6 hymnals Scripture: Luke 10:42 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 And teach me in all things to find true delight. 2 Wilt thou find this one thing needful, Turn from all created things Unto Jesus and be heedful Of the blessed joy He brings. For where God and Man both in one are united, With God’s perfect fullness the heart is delighted; There, there is the worthiest lot and the best, My One and my All and my Joy and my Rest. 3 How were Mary’s tho'ts 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! For Jesus all earthly concerns she forgot, And all was repaid in that one happy lot. 4 Thus my longings, heav’nward tending, Jesus, rest alone on Thee. Help me, thus on Thee depending; Savior, come and dwell in me. Although all the world should forsake and forget Thee, In love I will follow Thee, ne’er will I quit Thee. Lord Jesus, both spirit and life is Thy Word; And is there a joy which Thou dost not afford? 5 Wisdom’s highest, noblest treasure, Jesus, lies concealed in Thee; Grant that this may still the measure Of my will and actions be, Humility there and simplicity reigning, In paths of true wisdom my steps ever training. Oh, if I of Christ have this knowledge divine, The fullness of heavenly wisdom is mine. 6 Naught have I, O Christ, to offer Naught but Thee, my highest Good. Naught have I, O Lord, to proffer But Thy crimson-colored blood. Thy death on the cross hath Death wholly defeated And thereby my righteousness fully completed; Salvation’s white raiments I there did obtain, And in them in glory with Thee I shall reign. 7. Therefore Thou alone, my Savior, Shalt be All in all to me; Search my heart and my behavior, Root out all hypocrisy. Restrain me from wand'ring on pathways unholy And through all life’s pilgrimage keep my heart lowly. This one thing is needful, all others are vain; I count all but loss that I Christ may obtain. Amen. Topics: The Redeemer Used With Tune: EINS IST NOT

May it find me there each day; Sitting at the feet of Jesus, I would look upon the past; For His love has been so gracious, It has won my heart at last. 2 Sitting at the feet of Jesus, Where can mortal be more blest? There I lay my sins and sorrows, And, when weary, find sweet rest; Sitting at the feet of Jesus, There I love to weep and pray; While I from His fullness gather Grace and comfort every day. 3 Bless me, O my Savior, bless me, As *I sit low at Thy feet; [*I’m waiting] Oh, look down in love upon me, Let me see Thy face so sweet; Give me, Lord, the mind of Jesus, Keep me holy as He is; May I prove I’ve been with Jesus, Who is all my righteousness.

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals Scripture: Luke 10:38-42 First Line: Bless'd Martha love and joy express'd Lyrics: 1 Bless'd Martha love and joy express'd, To entertain her heav'nly guest; While Mary, ravish'd with her Lord, Sat at his feet, and heard his word. 2 True love divine, in both the same, Let each to glorify his name; Each met her Lord with joyful heart, "But Mary chose the better part." 3 While one prepar'd her earthly bread, The other wanted to be fed; One toil'd with care to spread a feast, The other lean'd on Jesu's breast. 4 Both met the favor of their Lord, His grace for each prepar'd a word; While Mary drank full draughts of love, Grace, careful Martha, did reprove. 5 Thus Christians with the world are vex'd, Oft are encumber'd and perplex'd; Vain tribes so engross their thought, The one thing needful is forgot. 6 Teach us, dear Lord, that part to choose, Which through thy grace we ne'er shall lose; Then could we call the world our own, We'd leave it all to see thy throne.
