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."
