293. Heavenly Father, Bless Us Now

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