Lyrics
Father and life-giver, grace of Christ impart;He, the Word incarnate — food for mind and heart.
Children of the promise, homage now we pay;
Sacrificial banquet cheers the desert way.
Wine and bread the symbols — love and life convey,
Offered by your people, work and joy portray.
All we won consigning, nothing is retained;
Tokens of our service, gifts and song contain.
Transformation wondrous, water into wine;
Mingled in the Godhead we are made divine.
Birth into his body brought us life anew,
Total consecration — Fruit from grafting true.
Christ, the head and members iving now as one.
Offered to the Father by this holy Son;
And our adoration will be purified,
By the Holy Spirit breathing through our lives.
