Our Gift on Holy Thursday

Little gifts — repentance,

Sacrifices, too;

These things I offer, Jesus,

This holy day to you.

Your gifts to me are boundless;

But the one I love the most

Is the Gift of Gifts encompassed

In that little, round, white Host.

O absolute fulfillment

Before you hung upon the tree;

On that first Holy Thursday

You gave your Flesh and Blood to me!

O Praise our God with fervor,

That from simple bread and wine,

Each new-born day the wholeness

Of an awesome Gift is mine.

The Gift of God Almighty,

Through Jesus Christ, His Son,

And through the Holy Spirit,

All united, Three in One.
