Analysis of Show Us Your Face
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
Hear me O Father and answer my call;
Pour out your love and satisfy all.
Give them what they ask for.
Not what they deserve.
Have mercy on all.
If my voice you have heard.
Pour out your love on us; make us rejoice.
Give us the pleasure of hearing your voice.
