Lyrics

Wherefore, O Fa­ther, we Thy hum­ble ser­vants
Here bring be­fore Thee Christ, Thy well be­lov­èd,
All per­fect of­fer­ing, sac­ri­fice im­mor­tal,
Spotless obla­tion.

See now Thy child­ren, mak­ing in­ter­cess­ion
Through Him our Sav­ior, Son of God in­car­nate,
For all Thy peo­ple, liv­ing and de­part­ed,
Pleading be­fore Thee.
