Abba Father Hear Thy Child {Abba Father Hear Thy Child ROSEFIELD-Rev. Henri Abraham Cesar Malan Abba, Father, Hear Thy Child } Abba, Father, hear thy child, Late in Jesus reconciled; Hear, and all the graces shower, All the joy, and peace, and power; All my Saviour asks above, All the life and heaven of love. Heavenly Father, Life divine, Change my nature into thine; Move and spread throughout my soul, Actuate and fill the whole; Lord, I will not let thee go Till the blessing thou bestow. Holy Ghost, no more delay; Come, and in thy temple stay; Now thine inward witness bear, Strong, and permanent, and clear: Spring of life, thyself impart; Rise eternal in my heart.
