We Hail Thy Presence Glorious (Offertorium, Organ)

We hail thy Presence glorious
O Christ our great high Priest
O'er sin and death victorious
At thy thanksgiving feast
As thou art interceding
For us in heaven above
Thy Church on earth is pleading
Thy perfect work of love

Through thee in every nation
Thine own their hearts upraise
Offering one pure Oblation
One Sacrifice of praise
With thee in blest communion
The living and the dead
Are joined in closest union
One Body with one Head

O living Bread from heaven
Jesu, our Saviour good
Who thine own self hast given
To be our souls' true food
For us thy body broken
Hung on the Cross of shame
This Bread its hallowed token
We break in thy dear name

O stream of love unending
Poured from the one true Vine
With our weak nature blending
The strength of life divine
Our thankful faith confessing
In thy life-blood outpoured
We drink this Cup of blessing
And praise thy name, O Lord

May we thy word believing
Thee through thy gifts receive
That, thou within us living
We all to God may live
Draw us from earth to heaven
Till sin and sorrow cease
Forgiving and forgiven
In love and joy and peace
