Create PowerPoint slides from this hymn →A short devotional prayer hymn petitioning God for blessing, grace, and mercy. The archaic diction and compact AABB quatrain structure are consistent with 19th-century hymnody, though the author remains unidentified.
Verse 1
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.
Verse 2
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!
Verse 3
Mercy now, O Lord, we plead
In this hour of utter need;
Turn us not away unblest;
Calm our anguish into rest.
Verse 4
O Thou loving, blessed One,
Rising o'er us like the sun,
Light and life art Thou within:
Savior, Thou, from every sin!
