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 through Jesus' wounds on me.
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.
Lord, I cannot let thee go,
Till a blessing thou bestow;
Hear my Advocate divine,
Lo ! to his, my suit I join;
Joined with his, it cannot fail:
Let me now with thee prevail!
Turn, from me, thy glorious eyes
To his bloody sacrifice,—
To the full atonement made,
To the utmost ransom paid:
And, if mine, through him thou art,
Speak thy mercy to my heart.
Jesus, answer from above,
Is not all thy nature love?
Pity from thine eye let fall;
Bless me while on thee I call;
Am I thine, thou Son of God?
Take the purchase of thy blood.
Father, see the victim slain,
Offered up for guilty men;
Hear his blood-prevailing cry;
Let thy bowels then reply!
Then through him the sinner see;
Then, in Jesus, look on me
