Only this I want: but to know the Lord, And to bear his cross so to wear the crown he wore. All but this is loss, worthless refuse to me, For to gain the Lord is to gain all I need Only this I want, but to know the Lord, And to bear his cross so to wear the crown he wore. I will run the race; I will fight the good fight, So to win the prize of the kingdom of my Lord Only this I want: but to know the Lord, And to bear his cross so to wear the crown he wore. Let your heart be glad, always glad in the Lord, So to shine like stars in the darkness of the night. Only this I want: but to know the Lord, And to bear his cross so to wear the crown he wore.
