Lord, accept the alms we offer

Lord, accept the alms we offer

Author: S. N. Sedgwick
Published in 4 hymnals

Representative Text

1 Lord, accept the alms we offer,
tokens of our love to thee;
out of grateful hearts we render
this our act of charity;
even though full well we know
all we have to thee we owe.

2 Use them, Father, to thy glory,
teach us fully how to give,
for his sake who leaving heaven
gave us all that we might live:
all we have could not suffice
to repay his sacrifice.

3 Now the priest upon the altar
doth present the bread and wine,
to become, in wondrous manner,
for our souls the food divine:
soul and body by thee fed,
praise we give for daily bread.

4 With our alms and our oblations
take, O Lord, our prayers of love;
make thy church in fullest concord
serve as one, below, above;
and in fellowship complete
reach at last thy mercy-seat.
