Lord, accept the gifts we offer
Hymn Text
Verse 1
Lord, accept the gifts we offer
At this Eucharistic feast;
Bread and wine to be transformed
Through the action of the priest,
Take us too, O Lord, transform us,
Be thy grace in us increased.

Take us too, O Lord, transform us,
Be thy grace in us increased.
Verse 2
May our souls be pure and spotless,
As the 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.

Verse 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.
