Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #LXXVI (1792) Topics: Scripture Doctrines and Blessings Atonement; Atonement of Christ Pleaded First Line: Father, God, who seest in me Lyrics: 1 Father, God, who seest in me
Only sin and Misery,
Turn to thy anointed One,
Look on thy beloved Son;
Him, and then the sinner, see;
Look thro' Jesus' wounds on me.
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.
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.
4 Turn from me thy glorious eues
To his bloody sacrifice,
To the full atonement made,
To the utmost ransom paid;
And, if mine thro' him thou art,
Speak thy mercy to my heart.
5 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.
6 Father, see the victim slain,
Offer'd up for guilty man;
Hear his blood's prevailing cry;
Let the bowels then reply:
Then thro' him the sinner see;
Then, in Jesus, look on me. Scripture: Psalm 84:9 Languages: English
