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

Hence we should in ev'ry clime
Magnify His name sublime,
Who doth shield us from all harm.

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

O grant us that we ever
With heart and soul, as it is meet,
May serve our Lord and Savior,
And Him confess till our last breath,
As Lord of life and Lord of death
And give Him praise and honor.
3 Our hearts let new-created be,
Our walk make pure and holy.
Help us offense and sin to flee,
And ever serve God solely,
So that our faith in Christ, our Lord,
May prove itself in deed and word
Before the world about us.
4 Thy gracious heav'nly dew let fall,
The fainting Church to quicken;
Thy soothing ointment pour on all
Whose souls are sad and stricken.
Sustain us, Lord, in evil days,
And let our lives in all our ways
Abound in love and mercy.
5 Give strength and courage to contend
Against the hosts of evil,
That we may vanquish, in the end,
The world, the flesh, the devil;
And when death's billow o'er us rolls,
Bear Thou to heav'n our ransomed souls
While dust to dust returneth.
