Accept Almighty Father

These gifts of bread and wine

Which now the priest is offering

For us before Thy shrine

But soon the Word will make them

His Body and his Blood

The sacrifice renewing

Once offered on the rood.

With these although unworthy,

Some offering we would make

But all we have thou gavest

Then what thou gavest take

Our hearts, our souls, our senses

We give through Mary's hands

Who by the cross once standing

Now by the alter stands.

O God by that co-mingling

Of water and of wine,

May he who took our nature

Give us his life divine.

Come thou, who make-st holy

And bless this sacrifice.

Then shall our gift be pleasing

To thee above the skies.
