See us Lord about thine Altar Lyrics

1. See us, Lord, about thine altar though so many, we are one, many souls by love united in the heart of Christ thy Son.

2. Hear our prayers, O loving Father hear in them thy Son, our Lord, hear him speak our love and worship, as we sing with one accord.

3. Once were seen the blood and water, now he seems but bread and wine. Then in human form he suffered, Now his form is but a sign.

4. Wheat and grape contain the meaning; food and drink he is to all; one in him, we kneel adoring, gathered by his loving call.

5. Hear us yet, so much is needful in our frail, disordered life Stay with us and tend our weakness Till that day of no more strife.

6. Members of his mystic body now we know our prayer is heard heard by thee, because thy children, have received the eternal word.
