Full hymn text

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 our thanks and praise.

Holy and right it is, and our joyful duty to give thanks to
you at all times and in all places, O Lord our Creator,
almighty and everlasting God! You created heaven with
all its hosts and the earth with all its plenty.You have
given us life and being, and preserve us by your
providence. But you have shown us the fullness of your
love in sending into the world your Son, Jesus Christ,
the eternal Word, made flesh for us and for our
salvation. For the precious gift of this mighty Savior who
has reconciled us to you we praise and bless you, O
God. With your whole Church on earth and with all the
company of heaven we worship and adore your glorious
name:

Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of power and might,
heaven and earth are full of your glory. Hosanna in
the highest.
Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the
Lord.
Hosanna in the highest, hosanna in the highest.
Most righteous God, we remember in this Supper the
perfect sacrifice offered once on the cross by our Lord
Jesus Christ for the sin of the whole world. In the joy of
his resurrection and in expectation of his coming again,
we offer ourselves to you as holy and living sacrifices.
Together we proclaim the mystery of the faith:
Christ has died. Christ is risen. Christ will come
again.

Send your Holy Spirit upon us, we pray, that the bread
which we break and the cup which we bless may be to
us the communion of the body and blood of Christ.
Grant that, being joined together in him, we may attain
to the unity of the faith and grow up in all things into
Christ our Lord.
And as this grain has been gathered from many fields
into one loaf, and these grapes from many hills into one
cup, grant, O Lord, that your whole Church may soon be
gathered from the ends of the earth into your kingdom.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
