Author: John Newton, 1725-1807 Appears in 78 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Heavenly Father, grant thy blessing
On the teaching of this day,
That our hearts, thy fear possessing,
May from sin be turned away.
2 May the grace of Christ, our Savior,
And thje Father's boundless love,
With the Holy spirit's favor,
Rest upon us from above.
3 Have we wandered? O forgive us!
Have we wished from truth to rove?
Turn, O turn us and receive us
And incline us thee to love.
4 Thus may we abide in union
With each other and the Lord,
And possess, in sweet communion,
Joys which earth cannot afford.
Amen. Topics: Communion with God, Christ; God Love of; Grace; Love to God, Christ; Sin; Holy Spirit; Teacher, Teaching; Truth; Unity; Adoration and Praise Close of Service Scripture: Colossians 3:15-16 Used With Tune: SARDIS Text Sources: Psalter
