Prayer of Adoration Pastor Everett L. Fletcher It is very meet, right, and our bounden duty, that we should at all times, and in all places, givethanks unto You, O Lord, Holy Father, Almighty, Everlasting God. Heaven, we laud and magnify Your Holy Name; evermore praising You, and saying, Holy, Holy,Holy, Lord God of Hosts, heaven and earth are full of Your glory. Glory be to You, O Lord mosthigh. Amen.Prayer of Humiliation Pastor Everett L. FletcherWe do not presume to come to this Your table, O merciful Lord, trusting in our ownrighteousness, but in Your manifold and great mercies. We are not worthy so much as togather the crumbs under Your table. But You are the same Lord whose property is always tohave mercy. Grant us, therefore, gracious Lord so to eat the flesh of Your dear Son, JesusChrist, and to drink his blood that our sinful souls and bodies may be made clean by his deathand washed through his blood, and that we may ever more dwell in him and he in us. Amen.Prayer of Consecration Rev. Dr. Margaretta Smith Narcisse Almighty God, our heavenly Father, who of Your tender mercy did give Your only son, JesusChrist, to suffer death on the Cross for our redemption, who made thereby His oblation ofHimself, once offered, a full, perfect and sufficient sacrifice, oblation, and satisfaction forthe sins of the whole world; and did institute and in His holy gospel command us to continuea perpetual memory of that His precious death until His coming again; hear us O mercifulFather, we most humbly beseech You, and grant that we, receiving these Your creatures ofbread and wine, according to Your Son, our Savior Jesus Christ’s holy institution, inremembrance of His death and passion, may be partakers of His most blessed body andblood; Who in the same night that He was betrayed took bread, and when He had giventhanks, He broke it, and gave it to His disciples saying, Take, eat this is My body which isbroken for you. This do in remembrance of me. Like-wise after supper He took the cup andwhen He had given thanks He gave it to them saying, Drink all of it, for this is My blood of theNew Testament, which is shed for you and for many for the remission of sins, do this, asoften as you shall drink it, in remembrance of me Amen.Elements Shared***Let the Words of My Mouth | The Lord’s Prayer | BenedictionST.
