Accept, O Father, in thy love
These humble gifts of bread and wine
That with ourselves we offer thee
Returning gifts already thine.

Thy Son, the victim and the priest,
Through human hands doth here renew
The perfect sacrifice of love
To render God our worship due.

Behold this host and chalice, Lord,
To thee in heav'n the gifts we raise:
Through them may we our homage pay,
Our adoration and our praise.

Into thy precious blood, O Lord,
The priestly word will change the wine;
O may our sins be washed therein,
Our hearts be made like unto thine.

No earthly claim to grace is ours,
Save what thy sacrifice hath won
Grant then thy grace, fulfil our needs,
And may thy will in us be done.
