Pleading for Atonement

Verse 1

Father, God, who seest in me Only sin and misery, Turn to thy Anointed One, Look on thy Anointed Son Him, and then the sinner, see: Look through Jesus' wounds on me.

Verse 2

Heavenly Father, Lord of all, Hear and show thou hear'st my call! Bow thine ear, in mercy bow, Smile on me a sinner now! Now the stone to flesh convert, Cast a look, and melt my heart.

Verse 3

Lord, I cannot let thee go, Till a blessing thou bestow; Hear my Advocate divine, Lo! to his, my suit I join; Join'd with his, it cannot fail: Let me now with thee prevail!

Verse 4

Jesus, answer from above, Is not all thy nature love! Pity from thine eye let fall; Bless me whilst on thee I call: Am I thine, thou Son of God? Take the purchase of thy blood.
