Public Worship with Communion by Extension Order Two

Hymn
The minister says
Dearly beloved, in the Gospel of Saint Luke we read: ‘When the hour was come, Jesus sat down, and the twelve apostles with him. And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer: For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God. And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this and divide it among yourselves: for I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God come. And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: do this in remembrance of me.’
We are assembled and met together to render thanks for the great benefits that we have received at the hands of Almighty God, to set forth his most worthy praise, to hear his most holy Word, to acknowledge and confess our manifold sins and wickedness, to ask those things which are requisite and necessary, as well for the body as the soul, and, in union with those who celebrate [have celebrated] the Holy Communion at N…  this day, to partake of the spiritual food of the most precious Body and Blood of Christ in remembrance of his death and resurrection. For as often as we eat this bread and drink this cup in obedience to his command, we proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.

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.
All 	Amen.

The Commandments
God spake these words and said:
I am the Lord thy God; thou shalt have none other gods but me.
All 	Lord, have mercy upon us,
and incline our hearts to keep this law.
Thou shalt not make to thyself any graven image,
nor the likeness of any thing that is in heaven above,
or in the earth beneath, or in the water under the earth.
Thou shalt not bow down to them, nor worship them:
for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God,
and visit the sins of the fathers upon the children
	unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me,
and shew mercy unto thousands in them that love me
	and keep my commandments.
All 	Lord, have mercy upon us,
and incline our hearts to keep this law.
Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain:
for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
All 	Lord, have mercy upon us,
and incline our hearts to keep this law.
Remember that thou keep holy the Sabbath day.
Six days shalt thou labour, and do all that thou hast to do;
but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God.
In it thou shalt do no manner of work,
thou, and thy son, and thy daughter,
thy manservant, and thy maidservant,
thy cattle, and the stranger that is within thy gates.
For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth,
the sea, and all that in them is,
and rested the seventh day:
wherefore the Lord blessed the seventh day, and hallowed it.
All 	Lord, have mercy upon us,
and incline our hearts to keep this law.
Honour thy father and thy mother;
that thy days may be long in the land
	which the Lord thy God giveth thee.
All 	Lord, have mercy upon us,
and incline our hearts to keep this law.
Thou shalt do no murder.
All 	Lord, have mercy upon us,
and incline our hearts to keep this law.
Thou shalt not commit adultery.
All 	Lord, have mercy upon us,
and incline our hearts to keep this law.
Thou shalt not steal.
All 	Lord, have mercy upon us,
and incline our hearts to keep this law.
Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
All 	Lord, have mercy upon us,
and incline our hearts to keep this law.
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s house,
thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s wife, nor his servant,
nor his maid, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything that is his.
All 	Lord, have mercy upon us,
and write all these thy laws in our hearts, we beseech thee.
The Collect for the Sovereign may be said 
Almighty God, whose kingdom is everlasting, and power infinite: have mercy upon the whole Church; and so rule the heart of thy chosen servant Elizabeth, our Queen and Governor, that she (knowing whose minister she is) may above all things seek thy honour and glory: and that we and all her subjects (duly considering whose authority she hath) may faithfully serve, honour and humbly obey her, in thee, and for thee, according to thy blessed word and ordinance; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who with thee and the Holy Ghost liveth and reigneth, ever one God, world without end.
All 	Amen.

The Collect
The minister may say

All 	and with thy spirit.

The Creed
All 	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, 
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.

Hymn

Intercession
Brief biddings may be given.
Let us pray for the whole state of Christ’s Church militant here in earth.
Almighty and ever-living God, who by thy holy apostle hast taught us to make prayers and supplications, and to give thanks, for all men: we humbly beseech thee most mercifully [to accept our alms and oblations, and] to receive these our prayers, which we offer unto thy divine majesty; beseeching thee to inspire continually the universal Church with the spirit of truth, unity, and concord: and grant, that all they that do confess thy holy name may agree in the truth of thy holy word, and live in unity and godly love.
We beseech thee also to save and defend all Christian kings, princes and governors; and specially thy servant Elizabeth our Queen, that under her we may be godly and quietly governed: and grant unto her whole Council, and to all that are put in authority under her, that they may truly and impartially minister justice, to the punishment of wickedness and vice, and to the maintenance of thy true religion and virtue.
Give grace, O heavenly Father, to all bishops, priests and deacons, that they may both by their life and doctrine set forth thy true and lively word, and rightly and duly administer thy holy sacraments: and to all thy people give thy heavenly grace; and specially to this congregation here present; that, with meek heart and due reverence, they may hear and receive thy holy word; truly serving thee in holiness and righteousness all the days of their life.
And we most humbly beseech thee of thy goodness, O Lord, to comfort and succour all them, who in this transitory life are in trouble, sorrow, need, sickness, or any other adversity.
And we also bless thy holy name for all thy servants departed this life in thy faith and fear; beseeching thee to give us grace so to follow their good examples, that with them we may be partakers of thy heavenly kingdom.
Grant this, O Father, for Jesus Christ’s sake, our only mediator and advocate. 
All 	Amen.

Invitation to Confession
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.

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 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.

Absolution
The minister says
Grant, we beseech thee, merciful Lord, 
to thy faithful people pardon and peace, 
that they may be cleansed from all their sins, 
and serve thee with a quiet mind; 
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
All 	Amen.

The Comfortable Words
Hear what comfortable words our Saviour Christ saith unto all that truly turn to him:
Come unto me, all that travail and are heavy laden,
and I will refresh you.
Matthew 11.28
So God loved the world, that he gave his only-begotten Son,
to the end that all that believe in him should not perish,
but have everlasting life.
John 3.16
Hear also what Saint Paul saith:
This is a true saying, and worthy of all men to be received,
that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners.
1 Timothy 1.15
Hear also what Saint John saith:
If any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father,
Jesus Christ the righteous;
and he is the propitiation for our sins.
1 John 2.1,2
All 	Almighty God, Father of all mercies,
we thine unworthy servants
	do give thee most humble and hearty thanks
for all thy goodness and loving-kindness to us and to all men.
We bless thee for our creation, preservation,
	and all the blessings of this life;
but above all for thine inestimable love
in the redemption of the world by our Lord Jesus Christ,
for the means of grace, and for the hope of glory.
And we beseech thee, give us that due sense of all thy mercies,
that our hearts may be unfeignedly thankful,
and that we shew forth thy praise, not only with our lips,
	but in our lives;
by giving up ourselves to thy service,
and by walking before thee in holiness and righteousness
	all our days;
through Jesus Christ our Lord,
to whom with thee and the Holy Ghost
be all honour and glory, world without end.
Amen.

Hymn
At the lectern or minister’s stall the following shall be read

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 eat the flesh of thy dear Son Jesus Christ,
and to drink his blood,
that our sinful bodies may be made clean by his body,
and our souls washed through his most precious blood,
and that we may evermore dwell in him,
and he in us.
All 	Amen.

Giving of Communion
The minister says
The Church of God, of which we are members, has taken bread and wine and given thanks over them according to our Lord’s command.  These holy gifts are now offered to us that, with faith and thanksgiving, we may share in the communion of the body and blood of Christ.
The minister and people receive communion. To each is said
The body of our Lord Jesus Christ, which was given for thee,
preserve thy body and soul unto everlasting life.
Take and eat this in remembrance that Christ died for thee,
and feed on him in thy heart by faith with thanksgiving.
The blood of our Lord Jesus Christ, which was shed for thee,
preserve thy body and soul unto everlasting life.
Drink this in remembrance that Christ’s blood was shed for thee,
	and be thankful.
What remains of the consecrated bread and wine which is not required for purposes of communion is consumed now or at the end of the service.

The Lord’s Prayer
As our Saviour Christ hath commanded and taught us, 
so we are bold to say:

All 	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.
Silence is kept.

Prayer after Communion
Almighty and ever-living God, we most heartily thank thee, for that thou dost vouchsafe to feed us, who have duly received these holy mysteries, with the spiritual food of the most precious body and blood of thy Son our Saviour Jesus Christ; and dost assure us thereby of thy favour and goodness towards us; and that we are very members incorporate in the mystical body of thy Son, which is the blessed company of all faithful people; and are also heirs through hope of thy everlasting kingdom, by the merits of the most precious death and passion of thy dear Son. And we most humbly beseech thee, O heavenly Father, so to assist us with thy grace, that we may continue in that holy fellowship, and do all such good works as thou hast prepared for us to walk in; through Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom, with thee and the Holy Ghost, be all honour and glory, world without end.
All 	Amen.

Gloria in Excelsis
All 	Glory be to God on high, 
and in earth peace, goodwill towards men.
We praise thee, we bless thee, 
we worship thee, we glorify thee, 
we give thanks to thee for thy great glory, 
O Lord God, heavenly King, 
God the Father almighty.
O Lord, the only-begotten Son Jesu Christ; 
O Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father, 
that takest away the sins of the world, 
have mercy upon us. 
Thou that takest away the sins of the world, 
have mercy upon us. 
Thou that takest away the sins of the world, 
receive our prayer. 
Thou that sittest at the right hand of God the Father, 
have mercy upon us.
For thou only art holy; 
thou only art the Lord; 
thou only, O Christ, 
with the Holy Ghost, 
art most high 
in the glory of God the Father. 
Amen.

The Grace
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ,
and the love of God,
and the fellowship of the Holy Ghost,
be with us all evermore.
All 	Amen.
