Almighty Father, Lord most high by William Crowfoot — Lyrics
Almighty Father, Lord most high,
who madest all, who fillest all,
thy name we praise and magnify,
for all our needs on thee we call.
We offer to thee of thine own
ourselves and all that we can bring,
in bread and cup before thee shown,
our universal offering.
All that we have we bring to thee,
yet all is naught when all is done,

About Almighty Father, Lord most high
William Crowfoot's setting of Almighty Father, Lord most high is a sacred hymn for SATB choir. The text expresses praise and supplication to God, acknowledging Him as the creator and sustainer of all. It reflects on the human offering of oneself and possessions to God, recognizing that true value lies in the sacrifice of Christ. The lyrics draw a direct parallel between the Old Testament offering and the New Testament sacrament, where the bread and wine represent the body and blood of Jesus, a re-presentation of his atoning sacrifice on the cross. The choir is invited to pray that God will look upon his anointed Son in favour of his servants.
