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.  
4 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.  
Amen. Topics: Christ, The Lord Jesus; Christ Prophetic Office of; The Church Lord's House; Holy Spirit Illuminator; Man Deprivity of; Praise; Word of God Scripture: John 6:68 Tune Title: LIEBSTER JESU
