Blessed Jesus at Thy Word

1. Bles- sed Je- sus, at Thy Word We are ga- thered all to hear Thee; Let our hearts and souls be stirred Now to seek and love and fear Thee, By Thy teach- ings sweet and ho- ly, Drawn from earth to love Thee sole- ly.

2. All our know- ledge, sense, and sight Lie in deep- est dark- ness shroud- ed, Til Thy Spir- it breaks our night With the beams of truth un- cloud- ed; Thou a- lone to God canst win us; Thou must work all good with- in us.

3. Glor- ious Lord, Thy- self im- part! Light of light, from God pro- ceed- ing, O- pen Thou our ears and heart; Help us by Thy Spir- it's plead- ing; Hear the cry Thy peo- ple rais- es; Hear and bless our prayers and prais- es.

4. Fa- ther, Son, and Ho- ly Ghost, Praise to Thee and a- do- ra- tion! Grant that we Thy Word may trust And ob- tain true con- so- la- tion, While we here be- low must wan- der, Till we sing Thy prais- es yon- der.
