President The Lord be with you.
All And also with you.
President Lift up your hearts.
All We lift them to the Lord.
President Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
All It is right to give him thanks and praise.
President Almighty God, good Father to us all,
whose hands have made earth, sea and sky,
whose Spirit comes unseen as the wind,
your face is turned towards the world.
In love you gave us Jesus your Son
to rescue us from sin and death.
Your arms reach out to call us home,
to the city where angels sing your praise.
We join with them in heaven's song.
All

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.]

President Father of all, we give you thanks
for every gift that comes from heaven.

To the darkness Jesus came as your light.
With signs of love and words of hope
he touched untouchables with faith
and washed the guilty clean of shame.

This is his story.

All This is our song. Hosanna in the highest.
President The crowds came out to see your Christ,
yet at the end they turned on him.
The night in which he was betrayed
he came to table with his friends
for a feast to celebrate
the freedom of your people.

This is his story.

All This is our song. Hosanna in the highest.
President Jesus blessed you, Father, for the food,
took bread, broke it, gave it and said:
Take, eat; this is my body, which is given for you;
do this in remembrance of me
Jesus then blessed you for the wine,
took the cup, gave it 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.
Do this as often as you drink it
in remembrance of me.

This is our story.

All This is our song. Hosanna in the highest.
President Jesus died upon the cross,
the perfect sacrifice of love,
to set us free from all our sins.
Defying death he rose again
and is alive with you to plead for us.

This is our story.

All This is our song. Hosanna in the highest.
President Send your Spirit upon us here
that by these gifts we may feed on Christ:
his body as broken bread,
wine outpoured as his blood.
May we who eat his holy food
share his life for ever
and find a welcome at your feast in heaven
where all creation worships you,
and we shall sing for ever
to Father, Son and Holy Spirit:

This is our story.

All This is our song. Amen, amen; Hosanna in the highest.
