1
And now O Father mindful of the love
That bought us once for all on Calvary’s tree
And having with us Him that pleads above
We here present we here spread forth to Thee
That only offering perfect in Thine eyes
The one true pure immortal sacrifice

2
Look Father look on His anointed face
And only look on us as found in Him
Look not on our misusings of Thy grace
Our prayer so languid and our faith so dim
For lo between our sins and their reward
We set the passion of Thy Son our Lord

3
And then for those our dearest and our best
By this prevailing presence we appeal
O fold them closer to Thy mercy’s breast
O do Thine utmost for their souls’ true weal
From tainting mischief keep them white and clear
And crown Thy gifts with strength to persevere

4
And so we come O draw us to Thy feet
Most patient Savior who canst love us still
And by this food so awful and so sweet
Deliver us from every touch of ill:
In Thine own service make us glad and free
And grant us nevermore to part with Thee

And Now O Father Mindful Of The Love [#AndNow #OFather #MindfulOfTheLove #OfTheLove #TheLove #AndNowOFather #NowOFather #OFather #AndNowOFatherMindfulOfTheLove]
