The following shall be inserted into the Order for the Celebration of

Prayer C, right hand column Prayer A).
The Lord be with you.
And with thy spirit.
| | or |
|
The Lord is here.
His Spirit is with us.
|
Lift up your hearts.
We lift them up unto the Lord.
Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
It is meet and right so to do.
|
|
It is very meet, right, and our bounden duty,
that we should at all times and in all places
give thanks unto thee,
O Lord, holy Father,
almighty, everlasting God,
through Jesus Christ thine only Son our Lord.

[or, when there is no Proper Preface:
For he is the great high priest,
who has loosed us from our sins
and has made us to be a royal priesthood unto thee,
our God and Father.]
| | | |
(The following may be omitted if a Proper Preface is used)
For he is thy living Word;
through him thou hast created all things from the beginning,
and formed us in thine own image.
Through him thou didst redeem us from the slavery of sin,
giving him to be born of a woman
to die upon the cross;
and to rise again for us.
Through him thou hast made us
a people for thine own possession.
exalting him to thy right hand on high,Br>
and sending forth through him
thy holy and life-giving Spirit.
(Proper Preface, when appropriate)
|
|
Therefore with angels and archangels,
and with all the company of heaven,
we laud and magnify thy glorious name,
evermore praising thee and saying:
Holy, holy, holy, Lord God of Hosts,
heaven and earth are full of thy glory.
Glory be to thee, O Lord most high.
[Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
Hosanna in the highest.]
|
|
|
All glory be to thee
Almighty God, our heavenly Father,
who of thy tender mercy
didst give thine only Son Jesus Christ
to suffer death upon the cross
for our redemption;
who made there,
by his one oblation
of himself once offered,
a full, perfect and sufficient sacrifice,
oblation and satisfaction
for the sins of the whole world;
and did institute,
and in his holy gospel command us to continue,
a perpetual memory of that his precious death,
until his coming again.
Hear us, O merciful Father,
we most humbly beseech thee,
and grant that by the power of thy Holy Spirit,
we receiving these thy creatures
of bread and wine,
according to thy Son our Saviour
Jesus Christ’s holy institution,
in remembrance of his death and passion,
may be partakers
of his most blessed body and blood.
| | | |
Accept our praises, heavenly Father,
through thy Son our Saviour Jesus Christ,
and as we follow his example
and obey his command,
grant that by the power of thy Holy Spirit
these gifts of bread and wine
may be unto us his body and blood.
|

who, in the same night
that he was betrayed, took bread;
and when he had given thanks to thee,
he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying:
Take, eat; this is my body which is given for you;
do this in remembrance of me.
Likewise after supper he took the cup;
and when he had given thanks to thee,
he gave it to them saying,
Drink ye all of this;
for this is my blood of the new covenant,
which is shed for you and for many
for the forgiveness of sins.
Do this, as oft as ye shall drink it,
in remembrance of me.
|
|
|
[Great is the mystery of faith:]
Christ has died:
Christ is risen:
Christ will come again.
|
|
[Praise to you, Lord Jesus:]
Dying you destroyed our death,
rising you restored our life;
Lord Jesus, come in glory.
|
|
|
[Christ is the bread of life:]
When we eat this bread and
drink this cup,
we proclaim your death, Lord Jesus,
until you come in glory.
| |
[Jesus Christ is Lord:]
Lord, by your cross and resurrection
you have set us free.
You are the Saviour of the world.
|
|
|
Wherefore, O Lord and heavenly Father,
we thy humble servants,
having in remembrance
the precious death and passion
of thy dear Son,
his mighty resurrection and glorious ascension
entirely desire thy fatherly goodness
mercifully to accept this our sacrifice
of praise and thanksgiving;
most humbly beseeching thee to grant that
by the merits and death of thy Son Jesus Christ,
and through faith in his blood,
we and all thy whole Church
may obtain remission of our sins,
and all benefits of his passion.
And although we be unworthy
through our manifold sins
to offer unto thee any sacrifice,
yet we beseech thee
to accept this our bounden duty and service,
not weighing our merits but pardoning our offences,
and we pray that all we,
who are partakers of this holy communion
may be fulfilled with thy grace
and heavenly benediction.
through Jesus Christ our Lord,
| | | |
Wherefore, O Lord and heavenly Father,
we remember now his offering of himself
made once for all upon the cross;
we proclaim his mighty resurrection
and glorious ascension;
we look for the coming of his kingdom,
and with this bread and this cup
we make the memorial
of Christ thy Son our Lord.
Accept through him, our great high priest,
this our sacrifice of thanks and praise,
and as we eat and drink these holy gifts
in the presence of thy divine majesty,
renew us by thy Holy Spirit,
inspire us with thys love,
and unite us in the body of they Son
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 thee,
O Father almighty,
world without end.
Amen.
