Hymn/Song Information

Lord Thou art all the offerings Prepared

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
