Holy God, we offer thee by Richard Wagner — Lyrics
Holy God, we offer here
Jesu's death our sins to clear,
Jesu's life our life to be,
Jesu's love the world to free.
Stay the faithful, win the strayed,
bless the living and the dead.
Father lead us,
Saviour feed us,
Spirit be our store,
now and evermore.

About Holy God, we offer thee
This arrangement of Holy God, we offer thee for SATB voices in English is based on a hymn text that expresses deep devotion and a plea for unity. The lyrics focus on the sacrificial death and life of Jesus Christ, asking for divine guidance and protection for both the living and the dead. The second stanza expands on the theme of Christian fellowship, envisioning believers as one body bound by love to each other and to God. The composer's setting transforms this devotional text into a powerful choral experience, suitable for services or concerts where themes of faith, redemption, and community are central.
