Author: Catherine Winkworth; Tobias Clausnitzer Hymnal: The Hymnal of The Evangelical United Brethren Church #32 (1957) Meter: 7.8.7.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 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,
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 prayers and praises.
Amen. Topics: Worship Opening Scripture: Matthew 5:1-2 Tune Title: LIEBSTER JESU
