PRESIDENT:
All glory, praise, and thanksgiving be unto you, O Lord, Holy
Father, Almighty, Everlasting God, You created the world and all
mankind, and of your tender mercy gave your only Son Jesus
Christ to take our nature upon Him, and to suffer death upon the
cross, for our redemption. He made there, by His own oblation of
Himself once offered, a full, perfect, and sufficient sacrifice,
oblation and satisfaction for the sins of the whole world; and He
instituted, and in His holy Gospel commanded us to continue, a
perpetual memory of His precious death, until His coming again.
Hear us, O merciful Father, we most humbly beseech you; and be
pleased to accept, bless and sanctify these gifts and creatures of
bread and wine, that they may be for us the Body and Blood of your
Son, our Saviour Jesus Christ.
For, on the night He was betrayed
He took bread, and when He had given thanks to you,
He broke it and gave it to His disciples and said:
"Take this, and eat it:
This is my Body which is given for you.
Do this for the remembrance of me".
And after supper He took the cup of wine:
and when He had given thanks,
He gave it to them and said:
"Drink this, all of you:
This is my Blood of the New Covenant,
which is shed for you and for many
for the forgiveness of sins.
Whenever you drink it,
Do this for the remembrance of me.
PRESIDENT:
In faith we acclaim You, O Christ
ALL:
Dying, You destroyed our death;
Rising, You restored our life;
Christ Jesus, come in glory.
PRESIDENT:
Now therefore, O Lord and heavenly Father, we your servants with
all your holy people, having in remembrance the blessed passion,
mighty resurrection, and glorious ascension of your beloved Son,
do offer unto your Divine Majesty this Bread of eternal life and this
Cup of everlasting salvation, rendering thanks to you for the
wonderful redemption which you have made possible for us in
Him.
And we beseech you, O Father, to accept upon your heavenly altar
this sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving; and to grant that by the
merits and death of your Son Jesus Christ, and through faith in His
blood, we and all your whole Church may obtain remission of our
sins and all other benefits of His passion.
And we pray that by the power of your Holy Spirit all who shall be
partakers of this holy Communion may be filled with your grace
and heavenly benediction, and be numbered in the glorious
company of your Saints.
And here we offer and present unto you, O Lord, ourselves, our
souls and bodies, to be a reasonable, holy and lively sacrifice.
And although we are unworthy to offer unto you any sacrifice, yet
we beseech you to accept this, our bounden duty and service, not
weighing our merits but pardoning our offences;
Through Jesus Christ our Lord, by whom, and with whom, and in
whom, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, all honour and glory be unto
you, O Father Almighty, throughout all ages, world without end.
ALL: Amen.
