God the Father, God the Son,
God the Spirit, Three in One,
Hear us from Thy heavenly throne,
Spare us, Holy Trinity.
Father, hear Thy children’s all:
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,
patient we breathe Thy Name:
We beseech Thee, hear us.
Holy Spirit, grieved and tried,
Oft forgotten and defied,
Now we mourn our stubborn pride;
We beseech Thee, hear us.
Love, that caused us first to be,
Love, that bled upon the Tree,
Love, that draws us lovingly:
We beseech Thee, hear us.
We Thy call have disobey’d,
Into paths of sin have stray’d,
And repentance have delay’d:
We beseech Thee, hear us.
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,
Stain’d we pray for sanctity:
We beseech Thee, hear us.
Thou who hear’st each contrite sigh,
Bidding sinful souls draw nigh.
Willing not that one should die,
We beseech Thee, hear us.
