Blessed Jesus, at Your Word

Author: Tobias Clausnitzer; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 7.8.7.8.8.8 Appears in 144 hymnals 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.

How Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 485 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Word of God incarnate, O Wisdom from on high, O Truth unchanged, unchanging, O Light of our dark sky: we praise you for the radiance that from the hallowed page, a lantern to our footsteps, shines on from age to age. 2 The church from you, dear Master, received the gift divine, and still that light is lifted o'er all the earth to shine. It is the chart and compass that, all life's voyage through, 'mid mists and rocks and quicksands, still guides, O Christ, to you. 3 O make your church, dear Savior, a lamp of burnished gold to bear before the nations your true light, as of old; O teach your wandering pilgrims by this their path to trace, till, clouds and darkness ended, they see you face to face.
