411. Heavenly Father, bless me now

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

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!

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

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

5 Mercy now, O Lord, I plead,
In this hour of utter need;
Turn me not away unblest,
Calm my anguish into rest.

6 O thou loving, blessed One,
Rising o'er me like the sun,
Light and life art thou within--
Saviour, thou, from every sin!
