We Beseach Thee Lyrics

[THOMAS AQUINAS]
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 made us first to be
Come sing about
Love!
That made the stone and tree
Come sing about Love!
That draws us lovingly

[THOMAS AQUINAS AND CHORUS]
We beseech thee, hear us!

[CHORUS]
Sick!

[THOMAS AQUINAS]
We come come to thee for cure

[CHORUS]
Guilty!

[THOMAS AQUINAS]
We seek thy mercy sure

[CHORUS]
Evil!

[THOMAS AQUINAS]
We long to be made pure

[ALL]
We beseech thee, hear us!

[CHORUS]
Blind!

[THOMAS AQUINAS]
We pray that we may see

[CHORUS]
Bound!

[THOMAS AQUINAS]
We pray to be made free

[CHORUS]
Stained!

[THOMAS AQUINAS]
We pray for sanctity

[ALL]
We beseech thee, hear us!

[THOMAS AQUINAS]
Come sing about
Love!

[CHORUS]
Love!

[THOMAS AQUINAS]
That made us first to be
Come sing about Love!

[CHORUS]
Love!

[THOMAS AQUINAS]
That made the stone and tree
Come sing about Love!

[ALL]
Love! Love! Love!
That draws us lovingly

We beseech thee, hear us!

[CHORUS]
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!

[CHORUS]
Love!

[THOMAS AQUINAS]
That made us first to be
Come sing about Love!

[CHORUS]
Love!

[THOMAS AQUINAS]
That made the stone and tree
Come sing about Love!

[ALL]
Love! Love! Love! Love!
That draws us lovingly
We beseech thee, hear us!
