LORD ACCEPT THE GIFTS WE OFFER

Lord accept the gifts we offer\nAt this Eucharistic feast;\nBread and wine to be transformed now\nThrough the action of thy priest;\nTake us too, Lord, and transform us,\nBe thy grace in us increased.\n2. May our souls be pure and spotless\nAs this host of wheat so fine,\nMay all stain of sin be crushed out,\nLike the grape that forms the wine,\nAs we, too, become partakers\nIn this sacrifice divine.\n3. Take our gifts, almighty Father,\nLiving God, eternal, true,\nWhich we give, through Christ our Saviour,\nPleading here for us anew.\nGrant salvation to all present\nAnd our faith and love renew.
