We Beseech Thee

Father, hear Thy children's call,
 Humbly at Thy feet we fall,
 Prodigals confessing all,
 We beseech Thee, hear us!
 We thy call have disobeyed,
 Into paths of sin have strayed,
 And repentance have delayed,
 We beseech Thee, hear us!
 Come sing about love!
 That made us first to be!
 Come sing about love!
 That made the stone and tree!
 Come sing about love!
 That draws us lovingly!
 We beseech Thee, hear us!
 Sick! We come come to Thee for cure
 Guilty! We seek Thy mercy sure
 Evil! We long to be made pure
 We beseech Thee, hear us!
 Blind! We pray that we may see
 Bound! We pray to be made free
 Stained! We pray for sanctity
 We beseech Thee, hear us!
 Come sing about love!
 (Love!)
 That made us first to be!
 Come sing about love!
 (Love!)
 That made the stone and tree,
 Come sing about love!
 That draws us lovingly!
 We beseech Thee, hear us!
 By the gracious saving call
 Spoken tenderly to all
 Who have shared man's guilt and fall
 We beseech Thee, hear us
 By the love that longs to bless
 Pitying our sore distress
 Leading us to holiness
 We beseech Thee, hear us
 Grant us all from earth to rise
 And to strain with eager eyes
 Towards the promised heavenly prize
 We beseech Thee, hear us
 Come sing about love!
 That made us first to be!
 Come sing about love!
 That made the stone and tree!
 Come sing about love!
 That draws us lovingly!
 We beseech Thee, hear us!
