Offertory Hymn

Lord, Accept the Gifts We Offer

Verse 1
Lord, accept the gifts we offer
At this Eucharistic feast.
Bread and wine to be transformed now
Through the action of thy priest.
Take us, too, O Lord, transform us;
Be thy grace in us increased.Verse 2
May our souls be pure and spotless
As the host of wheat so fine;
May all stains of sin be crushed out,
Like the grape that forms the wine,
As we, too, become partakers
In this sacrifice divine.Verse 3
Take our gifts, Almighty Father,
Living God, eternal, true,
Which we give through Christ, our Saviour,
Pleading for us anew.
Grant salvation to all present
And our faith and love renew.

The Summons

Verse 1
Will you come and follow me
If I but call your name?
Will you go where you don't know
And never be the same?
Will you let my love be shown,
Will you let my name be known,
Will you let my life be grown in you,
and you in me?Verse 2
Will you leave yourself behind
If I but call your name?
Will you care for cruel and kind
And never be the same?
Will you risk the hostile stare
Should your life attract or scare?
Will you let me answer pray’r in you
and you in me?Verse 3
Will you let the blinded see
If I but call your name?
Will you set the pris’ners free
And never be the same?
Will you kiss the leper clean,
And do such as this unseen,
And admit to what I mean in you
and you in me?Verse 4
Will you love the "you" you hide
If I but call your name?
Will you quell the fear inside
And never be the same?
Will you use the faith you've found
to reshape the world around,
through my sight and touch and sound in you
and you in me?Verse 5
Lord, your summons echoes true
When you but call my name.
Let me turn and follow you
And never be the same.
In your company I'll go
Where your love and footsteps show.
Thus I'll move and live and grow in you
and you in me.
