Our full homage to demand. His own self for heavenly food.

The Communion Rite
At the Saviour's command and formed by divine teaching, we dare to say:
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come; thy will be done; on earth as it is in
heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against
us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.
Deliver us, Lord, we pray, from every evil, graciously grant peace in our days, that, by the help of your mercy, we
may be always free from sin and safe from all distress, as we await the blessed hope and the coming of our
Saviour, Jesus Christ.
For the kingdom, the power and the glory are yours, now and forever.
Lord Jesus Christ, who said to your Apostles: Peace I leave you, my peace I give you, look not on our sins but on
the faith of your church, and graciously grant her peace and unity in accordance with your will. Who live and
reign for ever and ever.
Amen.
The Peace of the Lord be with you always.
And with your Spirit.

Communion Hymn
1. Sweet Sacrament divine, 3. Sweet Sacrament of rest,
hid in thine earthly home, ark from the ocean's roar,
lo, round thy lowly shrine, within thy shelter blest
with suppliant hearts we come; soon may we reach the shore;
Jesus, to thee our voice we raise save us, for still the tempest raves,
in songs of love and heartfelt praise: save, lest we sink beneath the waves:
sweet Sacrament divine. sweet Sacrament of rest.

2. Sweet Sacrament of peace, 4. Sweet Sacrament divine,

dear home for every heart, earth's light and jubilee,
where restless yearnings cease in thy far depths doth shine
and sorrows all depart; thy Godhead's majesty;
there in thine ear all trustfully sweet light, so shine on us, we pray,
we tell our tale of misery: that earthly joys may fade away:
sweet Sacrament of peace. sweet Sacrament divine.
Tune: Divine Mysteries.
