| 1 Precious Word from God in heaven, Full of blessedness to me, All my trust to Thee is given, And my springs all rise in Thee; I in Thee find all I need, That my soul to God can lead. 2 Gracious Spirit, Thou Who showest In the Word the Father's heart, And all needful help bestowest, Light and sense to me impart, That I may the riches see Which God's Word here offers me. 3 In its solemn contemplation From vain cares let me be free, And in prayerful adoration, Stay Thou all my thoughts on Thee, That the world may not annoy While I make Thy Word my joy. 4 What I read, help me to heed it; What Thou sayest, let me do; Strength to faith grant as I need it, And remind me still anew That the faith that counts above Is e'er active here in love. 5 Let Thy grace sustain, protect me, That my ways ne'er from Thee part; Thy enlight'ning Word direct me; Seal this treasure in my heart, That my faith may steadfast prove, Till I walk by sight above. Amen. | Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal #189 (1880) Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a189 (1895) Evangelical Lutheran hymnal: with music #189 (1908) American Lutheran Hymnal #32 (1930) |
