| 1. And now, O Father,
mindful of the love
That bought us, once for all,
on Calvary’s tree,
And having with us Him
that pleads above,
We here present,
we here spread forth to Thee,
That only offering
perfect in Thine eyes,
The one true, pure,
immortal sacrifice.
2. Look, Father, look on
His anointed face,
And only look on us
as found in Him;
Look not on our misusings
of Thy grace,
Our prayer so languid,
and our faith so dim;
For lo! between
our sins and their reward,
We set the passion
of Thy Son our Lord.
3. And then for those,
our dearest and our best,
By this prevailing
presence we appeal;
O fold them closer
to Thy mercy’s breast!
O do Thine utmost for
their souls’ true weal!
From tainting mischief
keep them white and clear,
And crown Thy gifts
with strength to persevere.
4. And so we come;
O draw us to Thy feet,
Most patient Savior,
Who canst love us still!
And by this food,
so awful and so sweet,
Deliver us from every touch of ill:
In Thine own service
make us glad and free,
And grant us nevermore
to part with Thee.
