| Text: | Father, hear thy humble child |
| Author: | Charles Wesley |
| Tune: | SPANISH HYMN |
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 go
Till 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 now
Living 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.
