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.
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.
3 Glorious Lord, Thyself 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.
4 Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
Praise to Thee and adoration!
Grant that we Thy Word may trust,
And obtain true consolation
While we here below must wander,
Till we sing Thy praises yonder. Topics: Invocation Languages: English Tune Title: LIEBSTER JESU

And ourselves are blessed thereby;
Wherein our true good remains.

He blesses them who spread abroad His fame,
And we do His will thereby.

Done great things by His Word,
And still doth bare His arm
His wonders to perform;
Hence we should in ev'ry clime
Magnify His name sublime,
Who doth shield us from all harm.

We live and we will die;
If then we live, His love we will proclaim;
If we die, we gain thereby.

Who from heav'n to us came,
We shall again rise
To meet Him in the skies,
When at last, saved by His grace,
We shall see Him face to face,
Live with Him in Paradise. Topics: Invocation Languages: English Tune Title: I JESU NAVN
