1 Lord Jesus, once You spoke to men Upon the mountain and the plain, O help us listen now as then And wonder at Your words again. 2 We all have secret fears to face, Our minds and motives to amend. We seek Your truth, We need your grace, Our living Lord and present friend. 3 The gospel speaks; and we receive Your light, Your love, Your own command. O help us live what we believe, In daily word of heart and hand.
