195. Bless Me Now

1 Heav’nly Father, bless me now;
At the cross of Christ I bow;
Take my guilt and grief away;
Hear and heal me now, I pray.

Refrain:
Bless me now, bless me now,
Heav'nly Father, bless me now.

2 Now, O Lord! this very hour,
Send thy grace and show thy power;
While I rest upon thy Word;
Come, and bless me now, O Lord! [Refrain]

3 Now, Jesus now, for Jesus' sake,
Lift the clouds, and fetters break;
While I look, and as I cry,
Touch and cleanse me ere I die. [Refrain]

4 Never did I so adore
Jesus Christ, thy Son, before!
Now the time! and the place!
Gracious Father, show thy grace. [Refrain]
