384. God, my Father, hear me pray

1 God, my Father, hear me pray,
Wash my crimson guilt away;
Wretched, helpless, lost, undone,
Hear me for Thy blessèd Son.
Lord, unnumbered sins are mine,
But eternal love is Thine.

2 God, my Saviour, look on me;
All my guilt I cast on Thee:
Give my troubled spirit peace;
Bid my fears and sorrows cease.
Lord, unnumbered sins are mine,
But eternal love is Thine.

3 God, my Comforter, my Light,
Strengthen me with holy might,
Make Thy dwelling in my heart:
Faith, and hope, and joy impart.
Lord, unnumbered sins are mine,
But eternal love is Thine.

4 Blessèd, glorious Trinity!
Holy, everlasting Three!
Hear, oh, hear my earnest prayer,
And my soul for heaven prepare!
Lord, unnumbered sins are mine,
But eternal love is Thine.

Amen.
