Christians: Do you know the hymn "One thing I of the Lord desire" and do your remember all of the words?
It is such a beautiful hymn and the words are so meaningful, but I can only remember three verses, and I really, really would like to remember the other verse..
It goes like this:-
One thing I of the Lord desire
Though all my paths have miry been
Be it by water or by fire (not literal fire)
O make me clean, O make me clean
Chorus:
So wash me thou, without, within
Or purged with fire, if that must be
No matter how if only sin,
Die out in me, die out in me,
If greater vision, thou impart
Grateful and glad my soul shall be
But yet to have a purer heart
Is more to me, is more to me
Chorus
Missing verse...............
I watch to shun the miry clay
And staunch the springs of guilty thoughts
But watch and struggle as I may
Pure I am not, pure I am not
Chorus;
So wash me thou, without, within
Or purged with fire if that must be
No matter how, if only sin
Die out in me, die out in me
Thanks and please no stupid answers
Keith would you believe I just found the missing verse on line. The Holy Spirit surely speaks to our hearts. You should listen to the music that goes with the lyrics.
The third stanza:
Yea, only as this heart is clean
May larger vision yet be mine,
For mirrored in the depths are seen
The things divine, the things divine.
The last line of the third stanza I know as Of things divine, of things divine
Sorry, but as I was singing the third stanza the original words came back to me. In case you'd like to know it here it is:
Yea, only as this heart is clean
May larger vision yet be mine,
For mirrored in thy life is seen
Of things divine, of things divine

Have heard the term before, not familiar with the Hymn, however, having read through these, cant imagine, what else could be missing, since this seems very complete and meaningful.
