God the Father, God the Son

Author: Thomas B. Pollock Hymnal: The Hymnal #142a (1916) Meter: 7.7.7.6 Lyrics: 1 God the Father, God the Son, God the Spirit, Three in One, Hear us from Thy heavenly throne: Spare us, Holy Trinity. 2 Father, hear Thy children's call: Humbly at Thy feet we fall, Prodigals, confessing all: We beseech Thee, hear us. 3 Christ, beneath Thy cross, we blame All our life of sin and shame; Penitent we breathe thy Name: We beseech Thee, hear us. 4 Holy Spirit, grieved and tried, Oft forgotten and defied, Now we mourn our stubborn pride: We beseech Thee, hear us. 5 Love, that caused us first to be, Love, that bled upon the tree, Love, that draws us lovingly: We beseech Thee, hear us. 6 We Thy call have disobeyed, Into paths of sin have strayed, And repentance have delayed: We beseech Thee, hear us. 7 Sick, we come to Thee for cure, Guilty seek Thy mercy sure, Evil, long to be made pure: We beseech Thee, hear us. 8 Blind, we pray that we may see, Bound, we pray to be made free, Stained, we pray for sanctity: We beseech Thee, hear us. 9 Thou Who hear'st each contrite sigh, Bidding sinful souls draw nigh, Willing not that one should die: We beseech Thee, hear us. Amen. Topics: Ash Wednesday and Lent Tune Title: TURPIN'S LITANY

God the Father, God the Son

Author: T. B. Pollock Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #565 (1920) Lyrics: 1 God the Father, God the Son, God the Spirit, Three in One, Hear us from Thy heavenly Throne, Spare us, Holy Trinity. 2 Jesus, with Thy Church abide, Be her Saviour, Lord, and guide, While on earth her faith is tried; We beseech Thee, hear us. 3 Keep her life and doctrine pure, Help her, patient to endure, Trusting in Thy promise sure: We beseech Thee, hear us. 4 May her voice be ever clear, Warning of a judgment near, Telling of a Saviour dear: We beseech Thee, hear us. 5 All her fettered powers release, Bid our strife and envy cease, Grant the heavenly gift of peace: We beseech Thee, hear us. 6 May she one in doctrine be, One in truth and charity, Winning all to faith in Thee: We beseech Thee, hear us. 7 May she guide the poor and blind, Seek the lost until she find, And the broken-hearted bind: We beseech Thee, hear us. 8 Save her love from growing cold, Make her watchmen strong and bold, Fence her round, Thy peacefold fold: We beseech Thee, hear us. 9 May her priest Thy people feed, Shepherds of the flock indeed, Ready, where Thou call'st, to lead: We beseech Thee, hear us. 10 Judge her not for work undone, Judge her not for fields unwon, Bless her works in Thee begun: We beseech Thee, hear us. 11 Raise her to her calling high, Let the nations far and nigh Hear Thy heralds' warning cry: We beseech Thee, hear us. 12 May her lamp of truth be bright, Bid her bear aloft its light Thro' the realms of heathen night: We beseech Thee, hear us. 13 May her scattered children be From reproach of evil free, Blameless witnesses for Thee: We beseech Thee, hear us. 14 May she holy triumphs win, Overthrow the hosts of sin, Gather all the nations in: We beseech Thee, hear us. 15 May she soon all glorious be, Spotless and from wrinkle free, Pure, and bright, and worthy Thee: We beseech Thee, hear us.
