Hymnal: The Hartford Selection of Hymns from the Most Approved Authors #CXCIV (1799) Meter: 8.8.8.8 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.
