RECEIVE O FATHER GOD OF MIGHT

​

Receive O Father God of might,

This host unblemished

in your sight.

Unworthy servants though we be,

We come before You, trustingly.

​

This saving chalice too, we bring.

Receive it graciously O king.

With fragrant odour may it rise

To Your fine home, above the skies.

​

For all the living and the dead,

For our poor lives so badly led,

We raise these gifts to You above,

And join with them

ourselves in love.
