I am most grateful to have found the lyrics to this hymn because I lost my song book a few years ago and I am trying to collect some old songs that are very dear to me, and this is one of my favourites . Thank you again Nikki and the guest from New Zealand.
Merci Merci Merci d'avoir comblÃ© mon espoir et mon dÃ©sir de retrouver cet hymne si prÃ©cieux Ã mes yeux et mes oreilles.

This beautiful song reminds me of my childhood. My father bought the LP during a journey to Barbados and I used to play it on sunday afternoon after lunch time. These were happy days... Since then I have lost my parents... And on June 2010, I have had the surprise to rediscover it during a performance by young singers of a local choir in my church, in Martinique. I was amazed ! This song is wonderful ! Many thanks for the lyrics !

Hi all,

Thanks for all your posts. I have some other verses that we have sung in my parish since I was very young in Melbourne, Australia. The verses are quite different. I've been singing this song at funerals for some time but find that the alternative verses listed by others are more appropriate so thank you. Here are the lyrics I have:

Hear O lord, the Sound of My call,
Hear O Lord, and have Mercy.
My soul is longing, for the glory of You
O Hear of Lord, and answer me.

Vs. 1
Take our life, our love, our gifts we offer You O Lord.
The bread and wine will soon be changed,
By Your all powerful Word.

Vs. 2
He who once a victim died, the cross did not refuse.
And day by day, in love divine,
That sacrifice renews.

Vs. 3
The chalice Lord, we offer You, Your majesty we pray.
Its saving pow'r bestow on us,
To give us life today.

Vs. 4
In You O Lord we place our cares. And all our troubles too.
O grant, dear Lord, that someday soon,
We'll live in peace with You.

You guys are amazing. My Grandma played this song every Sunday when I was a child in St. Croix USVI. I asked her about the song years ago and she told me she could not rememeber the artis but it was always one of her her favorite songs. I get chills just thinking about it. I will purchase the cd.

Thanks for making my day.

Ray Rep wrote the song.
and I know words like Barron wrote above.
I sang it for my mothers funeral this week. I also have known it as a child since I was playing in the pews.
