O God We Give Ourselves Today Lyrics

1. O God, we give ourselves today,

with this pure host to thee the self-same gift which thy dear Son,

gave once on Calvary.

2. Entire and whole, our life and love with heart and soul and mind,

for all our sins and faults and needs thy Church and all mankind.

3. With humble and contrite heart

this bread and wine we give

because thy son once gave himself and died that we might live.

4. Though lowly now, soon by thy work,

these offered gifts will be the very body of our Lord,

his soul and body.

5. His very body offered up a gift beyond all price he gives to us,

that we may give in loving sacrifice.

6. O Lord, who took our human life as water mixed with wine

grant through this sacrifice that we may share thy life divine.
