Good Saviour Jesus, by your grace

“THIS ONE THING I DO”

1 Good Saviour Jesus‚ by your grace‚

this one thing only may we choose:

as strong contestants in a race‚

who nerve and sinew strain to use‚

let us‚ from indecision kept‚

the rigours of your way accept.

2 Content to leave the past behind‚

and pressing on with all our powers —

each faculty of heart and mind —

until the prize is fully ours‚

with total effort we would strive‚

resolved for you alone to live.

Verse 3 follows

8.8.8.8.8 8.
