Lord, Thou art all the offerings

195

	1.	Lord, Thou art all the offerings
		Prepared by God for us;
		They are so rich in meaning,
		So sweet and glorious.
		They have fulfilled God's purpose
		And met His heart's desire;
		They too have satisfied us,
		And faced what we require.
	2.	Thou art the burnt-oblation,
		Consumed by holy fire;
		To God as a sweet savor,
		Fulfilling His desire.
		Thou walkedst in God's presence,
		And all His will pursued;
		Thyself the spotless offering,
		For us to God as food.
	3.	Thou art the meal-oblation,
		With "oil" and "frankincense";
		'Tis holy, fine, and perfect,
		And sweet to every sense.'
		Thou art the peace-oblation,
		The peace for us to make,
		That we with.God may share Thee,
		As food of Thee partake.
	4.	Thou art the sin-oblation,
		For us Thou sin wast made;
		By death for our redemption
		The ransom Thou hast paid.
		Thou art the trespass-offering,
		Thou all our sins didst bear
		To satisfy God's justice,
		That we His pardon share.
	5.	Thou art the wave-oblation,
		The resurrected One;
		O'er hades, death and darkness,
		The vict'ry Thou hast won.
		Thou art the heave-oblation,
		Thou didst ascend to God;
		As such in heav'nly places
		Thou art our holy food.
