Here Blessed Jesus We Appear – Hymn Lyric
Here, blessed Jesus, we appear!
Thy sacred word of truth to hear;
Draw from this world our minds to thee,
And faithful hearers we shall be.
How wretched is our state of mind!
Our hearts how stupid, deaf and blind;
The way of life we do not know
Nor have we pow’r therein to go.
Thy grace to us, dear Lord afford,
To hear and understand thy word!
Lo, here we wait for grace divine,
Till every heart be truly thine.
Without thy grace we hear in vain,
In doubts and darkness we remain,
Till thou art pleas’d that light to give,
That light in which our souls may live.
We pray thee Lord, to us draw near;
Our feeble prayer and praises hear–
According to thy promise Lord!
We wait thy spirit with the word.
Meaning of Here Blessed Jesus We Appear
In this hymn titled “Here Blessed Jesus We Appear,” we come together to listen to your sacred word of truth, dear Jesus. We gather here to draw ourselves away from the distractions of the world and focus our minds on you. We believe that by being faithful listeners, we can learn and grow in our understanding of your teachings.
When we reflect on our state of mind, we must admit that it can sometimes be quite wretched. Our hearts become dull, and we often find ourselves deaf and blind to the guidance you offer us. We lack knowledge of the path towards true life, and we lack the strength to follow it.
But with your grace, dear Lord, we can truly hear and understand your word. We bring ourselves before you, waiting for your divine grace to touch our hearts and transform us into your faithful followers. Without your grace, our hearing becomes in vain, and we find ourselves trapped in a place of doubt and darkness. We are unable to experience the light that only you can bring the light that allows our souls to truly live.
Therefore, we humbly pray for you to draw near to us, dear Lord. Please listen to our feeble prayers and praises. We cling to your promises, and we eagerly await the presence of your Spirit, which accompanies your word.
As we dive deeper into the meaning of these verses, we find solace in knowing that we are not alone in our struggles. We acknowledge that our minds can be easily influenced by the distractions and negativity that exist in the world, but we take comfort in knowing that we have an ever-present source of guidance in you, Jesus. You provide us with the strength and understanding to navigate through life’s challenges.
In this technological age where distractions are abundant, gathering together to hear your word becomes increasingly important. By coming together, we create an atmosphere of support and encouragement. We can lean on one another as we strive to better understand your teachings. This sense of community helps us stay accountable to each other and to you.
We must remember that listening to your word is not merely an act of passive participation. It requires active engagement, an open heart, and an eagerness to grow. Each time we encounter your teachings, we have an opportunity to learn something new, gain a fresh perspective, and deepen our relationship with you.
As we listen to your word, dear Jesus, we ask for your guidance and wisdom. Help us overcome any barriers that may prevent us from truly understanding and applying your teachings to our lives. Illuminate the path before us and give us the strength to walk in it faithfully.
In conclusion, we come together in this hymn to express our desire to hear your sacred word, Jesus. We acknowledge our need for your grace to truly understand and apply your teachings. We pray for your presence, Lord, as we gather to listen to your word, knowing that with your guidance, we can overcome any challenges that come our way. May our hearts be open and receptive, and may we grow in wisdom and faith as we continue to seek you in all that we do. Amen.
