486. Father of love, of justice and of mercy

1 Father of love, of justice and of mercy,
Thou art the dawn, the star at eventide;
Show thou thy face, and light my way to Calvary,
There all my sins in thee to hide.
I bring thee all my sins,
None can forgive but thee.

Refrain:
I bring thee all, I bring thee all;
O give thyself to me,
I bring thee all.

2 O thou, of whom the heavens are but a symbol,
Be thou the sun that draws my heart to thee;
Be thou the light the stars at night do kindle;
Thy love is more than all to me.
I bring thee all my heart,
None do I love like thee.

3 O Man of sorrows, praying in the garden,
Thy sweat as blood falls down upon the ground.
In that dark agony my sins are pardoned;
My solace in thy grief is found.
I bring thee all my tears,
None can console like thee.
