Hymn 195  

SUBJECT: PRAISE OF THE LORD—HIS ALL-INCLUSIVENESS
METER: 7.6.7.6.D.
AUTHOR: Witness Lee
COMPOSER: J. C. Trench

1Lord, 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.
2Thou 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.
3Thou 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.
4Thou 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.
5Thou 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.
