Blessèd Jesus, at Thy Word

Blessèd 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.

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.

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.

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.
