Some Prayers and Text from our Holy Communion Service

The Lord's Prayer

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. For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory, For ever and ever.Amen.

Prayer of Preparation

Almighty God,unto whom all hearts be open;all desires known,and from whom no secrets are hid:
cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of thy Holy Spirit,
that we may perfectly love thee, and worthily magnify thy holy name;through Christ our Lord.Amen.

Summary of the law: Love God and Our Neighbour

Our Lord Jesus Christ said:Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord; and thou shalt love the Lord thyGod with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength. This is the first commandment.

And the second is like, namely this: Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.All Lord, have mercy upon us, and write all these Thy laws in our hearts, we beseech thee.

The Nicene Creed

All I believe in one God the Father almighty, maker ofheaven and earth, and of all thingsvisible 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,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 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.

Confession

All 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 ageWe 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.
