1. Heavenly Father, bless us now; At the cross of Christ we bow; While our guilt and grief away; Hear and heal us now we pray. 2. Now, O Lord, this very hour, Send Thy grace show Thy power; While we rest upon Thy word, Come, and bless us now, O Lord! 3. Mercy now, O Lord, we plead In this hour of utter need; Turn us not away unblest; Calm our anguish into rest. 4. O Thou loving blessed One, Rising o’er us like the sun, Light and life art Thou within: Savior, Thou, from every sin!
