Hymn Text
Verse 1
The solemn sacrifice begins,
The Lamb is offered for our sins,
He lies upon this altar throne,
High priest and victim both in one.
Verse 2
His sacrifice of love divine,
Renewed in veils of bread and wine;
Glory to your great name we sing,
For this most precious offering.
Verse 3
We too upon this altar lay
Our humble offerings today,
We give our love, though weak and small,
Our simple heart, ourselves, our all.
Verse 4
These gifts, dear Saviour, deign to bless,
And pardon our unworthiness,
While glory to your name we sing,
For your own precious offering.
