Blessed Jesus at Thy Word
We are gathered all to hear Thee
Let our hearts and souls be stirred
Now to seek and love and fear Thee
By Thy teachings sweet and holy
Drawn from earth to love Thee solely
2
All our knowledge sense and sight
Lie in deepest darkness shrouded
Til 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 prayers and praises
4
Father Son and Holy Ghost
Praise to Thee and adoration!
Grant that we Thy Word may trust
And obtain true consolation
While we here below must wander
Till we sing Thy praises yonder
