332. Wherefore, O Father, we thy humble servants

1 Wherefore, O Father, we thy humble servants
here bring before thee Christ thy well-belovèd,
all-perfect Offering, sacrifice immortal,
spotless oblation.

2 See now thy children, making intercession
through him our Saviour, Son of God incarnate,
for all thy people, living and departed,
pleading before thee.
