CHRISTIFY

Lyrics And Music By:

Manoling Francisco, SJ

​

I

Christify the gifts

we bring to You.

Bounty of the earth,

receive anew.

​

​

​

Take and bless the

work of our– hands.

Christify these gifts

at Your command.

​

​

II

Sun and moon and

earth and wind and rain.

All the world’s contained

in ev’ry grain.

​

​

​

All the toil and

dreams of human kind.

All we are we bring

as bread and wine.

​

​

III

Turn the bread and

wine our hearts implore

to the living

presence of the Lord.

​

​

​

Blessed and broken

shared with all in need.

All our hungers

sacred bread will feed.

​

​

IV

With this bread and

wine You Christify.

Now our deepest

thirst You satisfy.

​

​

​

We who by this

bread You sanctify.

Draw the world for

You to Christify.
