Eucharistic Prayer A
The Lord be with you.
And with thy spirit.
Lift up your hearts.
We lift them unto the Lord.
Let us give thanks unto the Lord our God.
It is meet and right so to do.
It is meet, right, and our bounden duty, always and everywhere to give thanks to thee, Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth.
[Insert Proper Preface]
Therefore we praise thee, joining our voices with Angels and Archangels and all the company of heaven, who forever sing this hymn to proclaim the glory of thy Name:
Holy, Holy, Holy Lord, God of power and might,
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.
O Holy and gracious Father: In thine infinite love thou madest us for thyself, and, when we had fallen into sin and become subject to evil and death, thou, in thy mercy, didst send Jesus Christ, thine only and eternal Son, to share our human nature, to live and die as one of us, to reconcile us to thee, the God and Father of all.
He stretched out his arms upon the cross, and offered himself, in obedience to thy will, a perfect sacrifice for the whole world.
On the night he was handed over to suffering and death, our Lord Jesus Christ did take bread; and when unto thee he had given thanks, he broke it, and gave it to his disciples, and said, Take ye and eat: This is my Body, which is given for you. Do this for the remembrance of me.
After supper he did take the cup of wine; and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, and said, Drink all of ye this: This is my Blood of the new Testament, which is shed for you and for many for the forgiveness of sin. As oft as ye shall drink it, do so for the remembrance of me.
Therefore we proclaim the mystery of faith:
Christ has died.
Christ is risen.
Christ will come again.
We celebrate the memorial of our redemption, O Father, in this sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving. Recalling his death, resurrection, and ascension, we offer unto thee these gifts.
Sanctify them by thy Holy Spirit to be for thy people the Body and Blood of your Son, the holy food and drink of new and unending life in him. Sanctify us also that we may faithfully receive this holy Sacrament, and serve thee in unity, constancy, and peace; and at the last day bring us with all thy saints into the joy of thine eternal kingdom.
All this we ask through thy Son Jesus Christ: By him, and with him, and in him, in the unity of the Holy Spirit all honour and glory is thine, Almighty Father, both now and forever. Amen.
And now as our Saviour hath taught us, we are bold to say, &c.
And with thy spirit.
Lift up your hearts.
We lift them unto the Lord.
Let us give thanks unto the Lord our God.
It is meet and right so to do.
It is meet, right, and our bounden duty, always and everywhere to give thanks to thee, Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth.
