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. Mercy now, O Lord, I plead
In this hour of utter need;
Turn me not away unblest,
Calm my anguish into rest.
4. O Thou loving, blessed One,
Rising o’er me like the sun,
Light and life art Thou within;
Saviour, Thou, from every sin!
