Occasional Prayers

Lord this is thy feast,
prepared by thy longing,
spread at thy command,
attended at thine invitation,
blessed by thine own word,
distributed by thine own hand,
the undying memorial of thy sacrifice upon the cross,
the full gift of thine everlasting love,
and its perpetuation till the end of time.

Lord, this is Bread of heaven, Bread of life,
that, whoso eateth, shall never hunger more.
And this, the Cup of pardon, healing, gladness, strength,
that, whoso drinketh, thirsteth not again.

So may we come, O Lord, to thy table.
Lord Jesu, come to us.
