Author: Tobias Clausnitzer; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 7.8.7.8.8.8 Appears in 144 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 55:10-11 Lyrics: 1 Blessed Jesus, at your word
we are gathered all to hear you.
Let our hearts and souls be stirred
now to seek and love and fear you.
By your gospel pure and holy,
teach us, Lord, to love you solely.
2 All our knowledge, sense, and sight
lie in deepest darkness shrouded,
till your Spirit breaks our night
with your beams of truth unclouded.
You alone to God can win us;
you must work all good within us.
3 Glorious Lord, yourself impart;
Light of Light, from God proceeding,
open lips and ears and heart;
help us by your Spirit's leading.
Hear the cry your church now raises;
Lord, accept our prayers and praises. Topics: Holy Spirit; Jesus Christ Light; Praise of Christ; Responses To Scripture; Elements of Worship Prayer for Illunination; Elements of Worship Hearing the Word Used With Tune: LIEBSTER JESU
