All Amen.

but in your manifold and great mercies.We are not worthy so much as to gather up the crumbs under your table.But you are the same Lordwhose nature is always to have mercy.Grant us therefore, gracious Lord,so to eat the flesh of your dear Son Jesus Christand to drink his blood,that our sinful bodies may be made clean by his bodyand our souls washed through his most precious blood,and that we may evermore dwell in him, and he in us.Amen.

The Communion Draw near with faith.Receive the body of our Lord Jesus Christ which he gave for you,and his blood which he shed for you.Eat and drink in remembrance that he died for you,and feed on him in your heartsby faith with thanksgiving.

3 He shall ’ send from ’ heaven : and save me from the reproof of ’ him that would ’ eat me ’ up.

4 God shall send forth his ’ mercy and ’ truth : my ’ soul is a’mong ’ lions.

5 And I lie even among the children of men that are ’ set on ’ fire : whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their ’ tongue a ’ sharp ’ sword.

Second Chant6 Set up thyself O God a’bove the ’ heavens : and thy glory a’bove ’ all

the ’ earth.First Chant7 They have laid a net for my feet, and press-ed ’ down my ’ soul : they

have digged a pit before me, and are fallen into the ’ midst of ’ it them’selves.

Second Chant8 My heart is fixed O God my ’ heart is ’ fixed : I will ’ sing and ’ give ’

praise.9 Awake up my glory, awake ’ lute and ’ harp : I myself ’ will a’wake

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 your divine majesty,renew us by your Spirit, inspire us with your loveand unite us in the body of your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

All To you be glory and praise for ever.Through him, and with him, and in him, in the unity of the Holy Spirit,with all who stand before you in earth and heaven,we worship you, Father almighty, in songs of everlasting praise:

All Blessing and honour and glory and power be yours for ever and ever. Amen.

(we kneel)

Accept our praises, heavenly Father, through your Son our Saviour Jesus Christ,and as we follow his example and obey his command, grant that by the power of your Holy Spiritthese gifts of bread and wine may be to us his body and his blood;who, in the same night that he was betrayed, took bread and gave you thanks;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.

All To you be glory and praise for ever.In the same way, after supper he took the cup and gave you thanks;he gave it to them, saying:

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.

All To you be glory and praise for ever.

Sermon

The Nicene Creed (stand)All We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty,

maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen.

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God,eternally begotten of the Father,God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God,begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father;through him all things were made.For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven,was incarnate from the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary and was made man.For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate;he suffered death and was buried.On the third day he rose againin accordance with the Scriptures;he ascended into heavenand is seated at the right hand of the Father.He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead,and his kingdom will have no end.

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,who proceeds from the Father and the Son,who with the Father and the Son is worshipped and glorified,who has spoken through the prophets.We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church.We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.

We look for the resurrection of the dead,and the life of the world to come.Amen.
