We Beseech Thee Lyrics - Singles - Schwartz Stephen

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!
