<p>And now, O Father, mindful of the love<br>
That bought us, once for all, on Calvary&#8217;s tree,<br>
And having with us Him that pleads above,<br>
We here present, we here spread forth to Thee,<br>
That only offering perfect in Thine eyes,<br>
The one true, pure, immortal sacrifice.</p>
<p>Look, Father, look on His anointed face,<br>
And only look on us as found in Him;<br>
Look not on our misusings of Thy grace,<br>
Our prayer so languid, and our faith so dim;<br>
For lo! between our sins and their reward,<br>
We set the passion of Thy Son our Lord.</p>
<p>And then for those, our dearest and our best,<br>
By this prevailing presence we appeal;<br>
O fold them closer to Thy mercy&#8217;s breast!<br>
O do Thine utmost for their souls&#8217; true weal!<br>
From tainting mischief keep them white and clear,<br>
And crown Thy gifts with strength to persevere.</p>
<p>And so we come; O draw us to Thy feet,<br>
Most patient Savior, Who canst love us still!<br>
And by this food, so awful and so sweet,<br>
Deliver us from every touch of ill:<br>
In Thine own service make us glad and free,<br>
And grant us nevermore to part with Thee.</p>
