EUCHARISTIC PRAYER 6
The Lord be with you or
The Lord is here.
and also with you. His Spirit is with us.
Lift up your hearts.
We lift them to the Lord.
Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. It is right to give him thanks and praise.
Heavenly Father, we give you thanks and praise through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord.
For he is your living Word; through him you have created all things from the beginning,
and have formed us in your own image.
You are worthy, O Lord our God, to receive glory and honour and power. For you created
all things, and by your will they have their being.
We praise you through Jesus Christ your Son because you have given him to be born
as man and to die upon the cross for us. We praise you for raising him from the dead
and exalting him to your right hand on high. So we join the saints and angels, and
sing together:
Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of power and might, Heaven and earth are full of your glory.
Hosanna in the highest!
(Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest!)
And now, heavenly Father, we pray that at this supper, as we follow his example and
obey his command, your gifts of bread and wine may by the power of the Spirit be
to us his body and his blood.
Worthy is the Lamb, the Lamb who was slain to receive power and wealth and wisdom
and strength and honour and glory and praise.
For on the night that he was betrayed, Jesus took bread and gave you thanks. He broke
it and gave it to his disciples, saying: 'Take, eat. This is my body, given for you.'
At the end of supper, taking the cup of wine, he gave you thanks, and said: 'Drink
this, all of you; This is my blood of the new covenant, shed for you and for many
for the forgiveness of sins. Do this in remembrance of me.'
As often as we eat this bread and drink this cup we proclaim the death of the Lord
until he comes.
Therefore, heavenly Father, we remember his death, his offering of himself made once
for all upon the cross, and we proclaim his mighty resurrection and glorious ascension,
keeping his feast until he comes again.
Christ has died Christ is risen Christ will come again.
Father, we give you thanks and praise that through him you have sent upon us your
holy and life-giving Spirit and made us a people for your own possession,
Father, grant that by your Holy Spirit we may feed on Christ and be strengthened for
your service.
All glory and praise be yours in Jesus Christ and through your Holy Spirit as we join
the endless praise of heaven:
Blessing and honour and glory and power be yours for ever and ever. Amen.
