And now, O Father, mindful of the love
Hymn Text
Verse 1
And now, O Father, mindful of the love
That bought us, once for all on Calv'ry's tree,
And having with us him that pleads above,
We here present, we here spread forth to thee:
That only off’ring perfect in thine eyes
The one, true, pure, Immortal sacrifice.
That bought us, once for all on Calv'ry's tree,
And having with us him that pleads above,
We here present, we here spread forth to thee:
That only off’ring perfect in thine eyes
The one, true, pure, Immortal sacrifice.
Verse 2
Look, Father, look on his anointed face,
And only look on us as found in him;
Look not on our misusing of thy grace,
Our pray’r so languid, and our faith so dim;
For lo, between our sins and their reward
We set the passion of thy Son, our Lord.
And only look on us as found in him;
Look not on our misusing of thy grace,
Our pray’r so languid, and our faith so dim;
For lo, between our sins and their reward
We set the passion of thy Son, our Lord.
Verse 3
And so we come; O draw us to thy feet
Most patient Saviour, who canst love us still;
And by this food, so aweful and so sweet,
Deliver us from ev'ry touch of ill;
In thine own service, make us glad and free,
And grant us never more to part with thee.
