Father, Hear Thy Children's Call (Lyrics)

V. 1
Father, hear Thy children’s call;
Humbly at Thy feet we fall,
Prodigals, confessing all:
We beseech Thee, hear us.
Christ, beneath Thy cross we blame
All our life of sin and shame;
Penitent, we breathe Thy name:
We beseech Thee, hear us.

V. 2
Sick, we come to Thee for cure,
Guilty, seek Thy mercy sure,
Evil, 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.

V. 3
By Thy love that bids Thee spare,
By the heav’n Thou dost prepare,
By Thy promises to pray’r,
We beseech Thee, hear us.
Amen.
