By the gracious saving call,
Spoken tenderly to all
Who have shared in Adam's fall:
We beseech thee, hear us.

By the nature Jesus wore,
By the stripes and death he bore,
By his life for evermore:
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.

By the love so calm and strong,
Patient still to suffer wrong
And our day of grace prolong:
We beseech thee, hear us.

By the love that speaks within,
Calling us to flee from sin,
And the joy of goodness win:
We beseech thee, hear us.

By the love that bids thee spare,
By the heaven thou dost prepare,
By thy promises to prayer:
We beseech thee, hear us.

Amen.
