Blessed Jesus, at Thy word

by Tobias Clausnitzer · translated by Catherine Winkworth (1827–1878)

Representative text

As printed in The Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal (1985), no. 60.

Verse 1

Blessed Jesus, at Thy word, 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.

Verse 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.

Verse 3

Glorious Lord, Thy self 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!
