The One Thing Needful. Luke 10. 42; Eph. 1. 3

1 What a precious, needful thing,
  Is the Lord and Saviour!
  Zion shall his mercy sing,
  Now, henceforth, and ever.
  In him a rich fulness dwells,
  And is freely given;
  Law and conscience Jesus quells;
  Crooked things makes even.

2 Mercy from his bosom flows,
  Free as any river;
  He redresses all the woes
  Of a weak believer.
  Sinners in corruption’s pit
  Know they greatly need him;
  He and he alone is fit
  From it to relieve them.

3 He is needful as our All;
  May we cleave unto him;
  Every blessing, great and small,
  Flows to Zion through him;
  Happy is the man indeed,
  Who has such a Saviour;
  Every blessing he can need,
  Dwells in him for ever.
