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 repentence have... delayed

We beseech thee, hear us!

Come sing about Love!
That calls us first to be

Come sing about Love!
That made the stone and tree

Come sing about Lo-o-ove!
That draws us lovingly

We beseech thee, hear us!

Sick!

We come come to thee for cure

Guilty!

We seek thy mercy sure

E-e-e-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!

Lo-o-o-ove!

That made us first to be
Come sing about Love!

Lo-o-o-ove!

That made the stone and tree
Come sing about Lo-ove!

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
... 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!

Love!

That made us first to be
Come sing about Love!

Love!

That made the stone and tree
Come sing about Love!

Love! Love! Love! Love!

Come sing about Love
Love! Love! Love!
Come sing about Lo-o-o-o-ove!
We beseech thee, hear us!

Love! Love! Love! Love!

We beseech thee...

...hear us!
