About this Hymn
Patrick Kirkland's hymn begins with a summary of Philippians 2:5–11 but then takes us on a post-crucifixion journey down the road to Emmaus (Luke 24:13–35) and into the room where Jesus appeared to ten of his disciples, without Thomas (Luke 24:36–43). We, like those who met Jesus in a state of bewilderment, ask for Jesus to glow in our hearts, ease our sorrows, and offer us peace.
Lyrics
Verse 1
Jesus, Lord, Redeemer, once for sinners slain, crucified in weakness, raised in pow'r to reign, dwelling with the Father, endless in your days, unto you be glory, honor, blessing, praise.
Verse 2
Faithful ones, communing toward the close of day, desolate and weary, met you in the way. So, when sun is setting, come to us and show all the truth; and in us make our hearts to glow.
Verse 3
In the upper chamber, where the ten in fear gathered sad and troubled, there you did appear. So, O Lord, this evening, bid our sorrows cease; breathing on us, Savior, say, "I give you peace."
