60   Blessed Jesus at Thy Word




[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.
