Father, hear thy humble child
1
Father, hear thy humble child,By thy mercy reconciled;Hear, and all thy graces shower,All the joy, and peace, and power;All my Saviour asks above,All the life and heaven of love.
2
Lord, I will not let thee goTill the blessing thou bestow:Hear my Advocate divine;Lo! to his my suit I join;Joined to his, it cannot fail;Bless me; for I will prevail.
3
Heavenly Father, Life divine,Change my nature into thine;Move, and spread throughout my soul;Actuate and fill the whole:Be it I no longer nowLiving in the flesh, but thou.
4
Holy Ghost, no more delay;Come, and in thy temple stay;Now thine inward witness bear,Strong, and permanent, and clear:Spring of life, thyself impart;Rise eternal in my heart.
