LORD ACCEPT THE GIFTS WE OFFER

Lord accept the gifts we offer
At this Eucharistic feast;
Bread and wine to be transformed now
Through the action of thy priest;
Take us too, Lord, and transform us,
Be thy grace in us increased.

2. May our souls be pure and spotless
As this host of wheat so fine,
May all stain of sin be crushed out,
Like the grape that forms the wine,
As we, too, become partakers
In this sacrifice divine.

3. Take our gifts, almighty Father,
Living God, eternal, true,
Which we give, through Christ our Saviour,
Pleading here for us anew.
Grant salvation to all present
And our faith and love renew.
