Blessed Jesus, at Your Word

1.

Blessed Jesus, at your word

we are gathered all to hear you;

let our hearts and minds be stirred

now to seek and love and fear you;

by your teachings true and holy,

drawn from earth to love you solely.

2.

All your knowledge, sense, and sight

lie in deepest darkness shrouded,

till your Spirit breaks our night

with the 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 now each mind and heart,

help us by your Spirit's pleading.

Hear the cry your Church now raises;

Lord, accept our prayers and praises.
