President |
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 Spirit these gifts of bread and wine may be to us his body and blood;
Who in the same night that he was betrayed,
| |||||||||
All |
Christ has died: Christ is risen: Christ will come again.
| |||||||||
President |
Therefore, heavenly Father, we remember his offering of himself made once for all upon the cross, and proclaim his mighty resurrection and glorious ascension. As we look for his coming in glory, we celebrate with this bread and this cup his one perfect sacrifice.
Accept through him, our great high priest,
Through him, and with him, and in him,
| |||||||||
All |
Blessing and honour and glory and power be yours for ever and ever. Amen.
