I believe in one God The Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth,
and of all things visible and invisible:
And in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the only begotten Son of God,
begotten of his Father before all worlds:
God of God, Light of Light,
very God of very God, begotten not made,
being of one substance with the Father,
by whom all things were made:
Who for us men and for our salvation,
came down from heaven;
(here bow)
and was incarnate by the Holy Ghost of the Virgin Mary,
and was made man;
and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate,
He suffered and was buried;
and the third day he rose again
according to the scriptures,
and ascended into heaven,
and sitteth on the right hand of the Father:
And he shall come again with glory
to judge both the quick and the dead:
whose kingdom shall have no end.
And I believe in the Holy Ghost,
the Lord, and giver of life,
who proceedeth from the Father and the Son,
who with the Father and the Son together
is worshipped and glorified,
who spake by the prophets.
And I believe one Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church.
I acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins.
And I look for the resurrection of the dead,
and the life of the world to come. Amen.

(THE CONFESSION AND ABSOLUTION) Ye that do truly and earnestly repent you of your sins, and are in love and charity with your neighbours, 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, meekly kneeling upon your knees.

Almighty God,
Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
maker of all things, judge of all men;
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,
provoking most justly thy wrath and indignation against us.
We do earnestly repent,
and are heartily sorry for these our misdoings;
the remembrance of them is grievous unto us;
the burden of them is intolerable.
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 honour and glory of thy name;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. Almighty God, our heavenly Father, who of his great mercy hath promised forgiveness of sins to all them that with hearty repentance and true faith turn unto him; have mercy upon you; pardon and deliver you from all your sins; confirm and strengthen you in all goodness; and bring you to everlasting life; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

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 A special preface may follow 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: Hosanna in the highest.
Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
Hosanna in the highest. The people kneel.

The prayer continues in these, or similar words: Holy art thou, 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 (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 humblybeseech thee; and grant that 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: Who, in the same night that he was betrayed, took bread; and when he had given thanks, he brake 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 whenhe had given thanks he gave it to them, saying: DRINK YE ALL OF THIS; FOR THIS IS MY BLOOD OF THE NEW TESTAMENT, WHICH IS SHED FOR YOU AND FOR MANY FOR THE REMISSION OF SINS: DO THIS, AS OFT AS YE SHALL DRINK IT, IN REMEMBRANCE OF ME Wherefore, O Lord and heavenly Father, we thyhumble servants, having in remembrance the precious death and passion of thy dear Son, his mighty resurrection and glorious ascension, offer unto thee this Bread and this Cup, entirely desiring thy fatherly goodness mercifully to accept this our Sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving, and 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 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
fulfilled with thy grace and heavenly benediction.
|
And although we be unworthy, through ourmanifold 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; through Jesus Christ our Lord, by whom and with whom and in whom, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, all honour and glory be unto thee, O Father Almighty, throughout all ages, world without end.
AMEN.
Let us pray. The people stand . As our Saviour Christ hath commanded and taught us,
we are bold to say:
Our Father, which art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name;
thy kingdom come,
thy will be done
in earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread;
and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive them that trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation;
but deliver us from evil. The priest continues: Deliver us . . . . . our Saviour, Jesus Christ.
For thine is the kingdom. the power, and the glory,
for ever and ever. 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. Behold the Lamb of God, behold him that taketh away the sins of the world. Lord I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof, but speak the word only and my soul shall be healed. The people may kneel. Communicants approach the altar.The priest receives, and then gives holy communion to the people The body of Christ or The body of our Lord Jesus Christ, which was given for thee, preserve thy body and soul unto everlasting life.
