[Teacher Divine, we ask Thy grace]

Teacher Divine, we ask Thy grace,
These sacred leaves to' unfold:
Here, in the Gospel's clearest glass,
Let us Thy face behold.

Show us Thy Sire; for known to Thee
The Father's glories are:
The dread Paternal Majesty
Thou only canst declare.

Open the Scriptures now; reveal
All which for us Thou art:
Talk with us, Lord, and let us feel
The kindling in our heart.

In Thee we languish to be found;
To catch Thy words we bow;
We listen for the quickening sound:
Speak, Lord; we hear Thee now.
