BLESSED JESUS, AT THY WORD
1. Blessed Jesus,
at Thy word
We are gathered all
to hear Thee;
Let our heart and
soul be stirred
Now to seek and
love and fear Thee;
By Thy teaching
sweet and holy,
Drawn from earth to
love Thee solely.
2. All our
knowledge, sense, and sight
Lie in deepest
darkness shrouded,
Till Thy Spirit
breaks our night
With the beams of
truth unclouded.
Thou alone to God
canst win us;
Thou must work all
good within us.
3. Glorious Lord,
Thyself impart!
Light of light,
from God proceeding.
Open Thou our ears
and heart.
Help us by Thy
Spirit's pleading,
Hear the cry Thy
people raises.
Hear, and bless our
pray'rs and praises.
