The numbers in the text below refer to the numbers on screen
1 The Lord be with you
And also with you.
Lift up your hearts
We lift them to the Lord
Let us give thanks to the Lord our God
It is right to give thanks and praise.
2 God is here. Make yourselves at home.
3 Here we tell of everything we want to give to God
And tell of all we want to thank God for.
4 Here we meet with Love
Which stretches from the start
To the finish of everything and further still.
5 Here Love shows the way and leads us home.
We join with creatures, cosmos,
Earth and angels in endless praise.
6 Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of power and might,
Heaven and earth are full of your glory.
Hosanna in the highest.
7 Blessed is he who comes In the name of the Lord.
Hosanna in the highest.
8 God you are perfect, the maker of everything.
9 We ache and groan with creation for freedom.
10 Send your Spirit on us and + on these gifts
So we may be embraced by your arms
as they become Christ’s body and blood.
11 We think of your son, Jesus Christ
Who is always rescuing the world
And is always giving himself to the world;
12 on the night that he was betrayed,
At supper with his friends
Took bread and gave you thanks and said
13 ‘Take, eat, this is my body given for you,
Do this in memory of me’.
14 In the same way after supper He took a cup of wine
And gave it to them saying
15 ‘Drink all of you, this is my blood of the new promise
Do this in memory of me’.
16 We are travelling towards you
And you are rushing towards us
Racing to care for the earth,
To heal the sick,
And to let the prisoners go free.
17 Keep us safe all the way
And shake us with your love
As you shook the saints before us
So we will want to serve you in everything.
18 By whom and with whom and in whom
In the unity of the Holy Spirit
All honour and glory is yours
Almighty Father
For ever and Ever
19 Amen.
