Sing today, the mystery shewing of the living, life-bestowing Bread from heaven before thee set; E en the same of old provided, where the Twelve, divinely guided, at the holy Table met. Full and clear ring out thy chanting, joy nor sweetest grace be wanting to thy heart and soul today; When we gather up the measure of that 181 Supper and its treasure, keeping feast in glad array. Lo, the new King s Table gracing, this new Passover of blessing hath fulfilled the elder rite: Now the new the old effaceth, truth revealed the shadow chaseth, day is breaking on the night. What he did at Supper seated, Christ ordained to be repeated, his memorial ne er to cease:and, his word for guidance taking, bread and wine we hallow, making thus our Sacrifice of peace. This the truth to Christians given - bread becomes his Flesh from heaven, wine becomes his holy Blood. Doth it pass thy comprehending? Yet by faith, thy sight transcending, wondrous things are understood. Yea, beneath these signs are hidden glorious things to sight forbidden: look not on the outward sign. Wine is poured and Bread is broken, but in either sacred token Christ is here by power divine. Whoso of this Food partaketh, rendeth not the Lord nor breaketh: Christ is whole to all that taste. Thousands are, as one, receivers; one, as thousands of believers, takes the Food that cannot waste. Good and evil men are sharing one repast, a doom preparing varied as the heart of man; Doom of life or death awarded, as their days shall be recorded which from one beginning ran. When the Sacrament is broken, doubt not in each severed token, hallowed by the word once spoken, resteth all the true content: Nought the precious Gift divideth, breaking but the sign betideth, he himself the same abideth, nothing of his fullness spent. Lo! the Angels Food is given to the pilgrim who hath striven; see the children s Bread from heaven, which to dogs may not be cast; Truth the ancient types fulfilling; Isaac bound, a victim willing; Paschal lamb, its lifeblood spilling; Manna sent in ages past. O true Bread, good Shepherd, tend us, Jesu of thy love befriend us, thou refresh

8 us, thou defend us, thine eternal goodness send us in the land of life to see; Thou who all things canst and knowest, who on earth such Food bestowest, grant us with thy Saints, though lowest, where thy heavenly Feast thou shewest, fellowheirs and guests to be. Amen. Alleluia.] Psalm 78:24-26 The Lord opened the doors of heaven: and rained down manna also upon them to eat: He gave them bread from heaven: So men did eat angels food, alleluia. Graciously grant, we beseech thee, O Lord, unto thy Church, the gifts of unity and peace; which are shewn forth under a Mystery in the gifts offered. Through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and Holy Spirit, one God, world without Years A & B: John 6:57 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my Blood dwelleth in me, and I in him, alleluia. Year C: 1 Corinthians 11:24 This is my Body, which is broken for you: This cup is the new testament in my Blood: This do ye as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me, alleluia. We beseech thee, O Lord: that like as the receiving of thy precious Body and Blood in this life doth foreshadow the everlasting fruition of thy Godhead, so thou wouldest vouchsafe unto us to be fulfilled with the same: Who livest and reignest with God the Father, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, one God, throughout all ages, world PROCESSION OF THE BLESSED SACRAMENT The people remain kneeling and sing one or both of these (or another suitable hymns): Jesu, my Lord, my God, my All, How can I love thee as I ought? And how revere this wondrous gift So far surpassing hope or thought? Sweet Sacrament, we thee adore! O make us love thee more and more! O make us love thee more and more! Had I but Mary s sinless heart To love thee with, my dearest King. O with what bursts of fervent praise Thy goodness, Jesus, would I sing! O see, within a creature s hand The vast Creator deigns to be, Reposing infant-like, as though On Joseph s arm or Mary s knee! Thy body, soul, and Godhead all, O mystery of love divine! I cannot compass all I have, For all thou hast and art in mine. Sound, sound his praises higher still, And come, ye Angels, to our aid! Tis God! Tis God! the very God Whose power both men and angels made! Ring joyously, ye solemn bells! And wave, O wave, ye censers bright! Tis Jesus cometh, Mary s Son, And God of God, and Light of Light! O earth grow flowers beneath his feet, And thou, O sun, shine bright this day! He comes! he comes! O heaven on earth! Our Jesus comes upon his way! He comes! he comes! the Lord of hosts, Borne on his throne triumphantly! We see thee and we know thee, Lord; And will if need be die for thee. Our hearts leap up; our trembling song Grows fainter still; we can no more Silence! and let us weep, and die Of very love, while we adore. Great Sacrament of love divine! All, all we have or are be thine! All, all we have or are be thine! All to him I freely give; I will ever love and trust him, In his presence daily live. I surrender all, I surrender all; All to thee, my blessed Savior, I surrender all. Humbly at his feet I bow, Worldly pleasures all forsaken; Take me, Jesus, take me now. Make me, Saviour, wholly thine; Let me feel the Holy Spirit, Truly know that thou art mine. Lord, I give myself to thee; Fill me with thy love and power; Let thy blessing fall on me. Now I feel the sacred flame. Oh, the joy of full salvation! Glory, glory, to his Name! BENEDICTION All pray in silence before the Blessed Sacrament. Then the priest says: Blessed, praised and adored be Jesus Christ on his throne of glory The people reply: And in the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar. This hymn is sung: Therefore we, before him bending, This great Sacrament revere; Types and shadows have their ending, For the newer rite is here; Faith, our outward sense befriending, Makes the inward vision clear. Glory let us give and blessing To the Father and the Son; Honour, might and praise addressing While eternal ages run; Ever too his love confessing Who from both with both is one. Priest: Thou gavest them Bread from Heaven, alleluia, alleluia. All: Containing in itself all sweetness, alleluia, alleluia. The priest says: Let us pray. Lord Jesus Christ, thou hast given to our hearts the light of faith and the fire of love; assist us with thy grace, that we may alway worship thee in spirit and in truth, dwelling amongst us in this Blessed Sacrament. Who livest and reignest with the Father, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, one God, world He makes the sign of the cross over the people with the Blessed Sacrament, and then leads them in the Divine Praises: Blessed be God. Blessed be his holy Name. Blessed be Jesus Christ, true God and true Man. Blessed be the name of Jesus. Blessed be his most Sacred Heart. Blessed be his most Precious Blood. Blessed be Jesus Christ in the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar. Blessed be the Holy Spirit, the Paraclete. Blessed be the great Mother of God, Mary most holy.
