Meter: 7.8.7.8.8.8 Appears in 144 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Blessed Jesus, at your word we are gathered all to hear you; let our hearts and souls be stirred now to seek and love and fear you, by your teachings sweet and holy, drawn from earth to love you solely. 2 All our knowledge, sense, and sight lie in deepest darkness shrouded, 'til 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 our ears and heart, help us by your Spirit's pleading; hear the cry your people raises, hear and bless our prayers and praises. 4 Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, praise to you and adoration! Grant that we your Word may trust and obtain true consolation, while we here below must wander, 'til we sing your praises yonder.

Clowney Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 92 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Loved with everlasting love, drawn by grace that love to know, Spirit sent from Christ above, thou dost witness it is so. O this full and precious peace from his presence all divine; in a love that cannot cease, I am his and he is mine. 2 Heav'n above is deeper blue, earth around is sweeter green, that which glows in ev'ry hue Christless eyes have never seen. Birds in song his glories show, flow'rs with richer beauties shine since I know, as now I know, I am his and he is mine. 3 Taste the goodness of the Lord: welcomed home to his embrace, all his love, as blood outpoured, seals the pardon of his grace. Can I doubt his love for me, when I trace that love's design? By the cross of Calvary I am his and he is mine. 4 His forever, only his-- who the Lord and me shall part? Ah, with what a rest of bliss Christ can fill the loving heart. Heav'n and earth may fade and flee, firstborn light in gloom decline, but while God and I shall be, I am his and he is mine.
