Original text and translations

English text

1.

With solemn faith we offer up

And spread, O God, before Thine eyes

That only ground of all our hope,

That precious, once-made Sacrifice,

Which brings Thy grace on sinners down,

And perfects all our souls in one.

2.

Acceptance through His holy Name,

Forgiveness in His blood we have;

But more abundant life we claim

Through Him Who died our souls to save,

To sanctify us by His blood

And fill with all the life of God.

3.

As it were slain behold Thy Son,

And hear His blood that speaks above;

Oh let us all Thy grace be shown,

Peace, righteousness, and joy, and love:

Thy kingdom come to every heart,

And all Thou hast, and all Thou art.
