INVITATION

Ye that do truly and earnestly repent of your sins,
and are in love and charity with your neighbors,
and intend to lead a new life, following the commandments of God,
and walking from henceforth in his holy ways:
Draw near with faith, and take this Holy Sacrament to your comfort,
and make your humble confession to almighty God.

CONFESSION 

Almighty God, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
maker of all things, judge of all people:
We acknowledge and bewail our manifold sins and wickedness,
which we from time to time most grievously have committed,
by thought, word, and deed, against thy divine majesty.
We do earnestly repent,
and are heartily sorry for these our misdoings; 
the remembrance of them is grievous unto us.
Have mercy upon us, have mercy upon us, most merciful Father.
For thy Son our Lord Jesus Christ's sake,
forgive us all that is past; 
and grant that we may ever hereafter
serve and please thee in newness of life,
to the honor and glory of thy name; 
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

 

 

PRAYER FOR PARDON

Almighty God, our heavenly Father,
who of thy great mercy hast promised forgiveness of sins
to all them that with hearty repentance and true faith turn to thee:
Have mercy upon us;
pardon and deliver us from all our sins;
confirm and strengthen us in all goodness;
and bring us to everlasting life;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

WORDS OF ASSURANCE

Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens,
and I will give you rest. (MATTHEW 11:28)

God so loved the world that he gave his only Son,
that everyone who believes in him
may not perish but may have eternal life. (JOHN 3:16)

The saying is sure and worthy of full acceptance,
that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. (1 TIMOTHY 1:15)

If we confess our sins,
God who is faithful and just
will forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (1 JOHN 1:9, alt.)

THE GREAT THANKSGIVING

 

 

The Lord be with you.


And with thy spirit.


Lift up your hearts.


We lift them up unto the Lord.


Let us give thanks unto the Lord.


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.

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!

 

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 the one offering of himself,
a full, perfect, and sufficient sacrifice
for the sins of the whole world;
and didst institute,
and in his holy Gospel command us to continue,
a perpetual memory of his precious death until his coming again:

Hear us, O merciful Father,
we most humbly beseech thee;
and bless and sanctify with thy Word and Holy Spirit
these thy gifts of bread and wine,
that we, receiving them
according to thy Son our Savior Jesus Christ's holy institution,
in remembrance of his passion, death, and resurrection,
may be partakers of the divine nature through him:

Who, in the same night that he was betrayed, took bread;
and when he had given 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."

Likewise after supper he took the cup;
and when he had given thanks,
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."

O Lord, our heavenly Father,
we, thy humble servants,
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 thy whole Church may obtain forgiveness of our sins,
and all other benefits of his passion.

And here we offer and present unto thee, O Lord,
ourselves, our souls and bodies,
to be a reasonable, holy, and lively sacrifice unto thee;
humbly beseeching thee
that all we who are partakers of this Holy Communion
may be filled with thy grace and heavenly benediction.
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 offenses;

Through Jesus Christ our Lord,
by whom, and with whom,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
all honor and glory be unto thee, O Father Almighty,
world without end. Amen.

 

 

PRAYER OF HUMBLE ACCESS

We do not presume to come to this thy table,
O merciful Lord,
trusting in our own righteousness,
but in thy manifold and great mercies.
We are not worthy
so much as to gather up the crumbs under thy table.
But thou art the same Lord,
whose property is always to have mercy.
Grant us, therefore, gracious Lord,
so to partake of this Sacrament of thy Son Jesus Christ,
that we may walk in newness of life,
may grow into his likeness,
and may evermore dwell in him, and he in us. Amen.

 

O Lamb of God, that takest away the sins of the world,
have mercy upon us.
O Lamb of God, that takest away the sins of the world,
have mercy upon us.
O Lamb of God, that takest away the sins of the world,
grant us thy peace.
