Create PowerPoint slides from this hymn →A German opening hymn written by Tobias Clausnitzer in 1663, set to the tune 'Liebster Jesu.' It calls on Christ and the Holy Spirit to still wandering thoughts and open hearts to receive God's Word as the congregation gathers for worship.
Verse 1
Look upon us, blessed Lord,
Take our wandering thoughts and guide us;
We have come to hear Thy word,
With Thy teaching now provide us,
That, from earth's distractions turning,
We Thy message may be learning.
Verse 2
For Thy Spirit's radiance bright
We, assembled here, are hoping;
If Thou shouldst withhold the light,
In the dark our souls were groping;
In word, deed, and thought direct us;
Thou, none other, canst correct us.
Verse 3
Brightness of the Father's face,
Light of light, from God proceeding,
Make us ready in this place;
Ear and heart await Thy leading:
In our study, prayers and praising,
May our souls find their upraising.
