Holy Eucharist Rite II

PRELUDE
Aria John S. Dixon
OPENING HYMN: All my hope on God is founded (vv. 1-3) Hymnal 665
1. All my hope on God is founded; he doth still my trust renew,
me through change and chance he guideth, only good and only true.
God unknown, he alone calls my heart to be his own.
2. Mortal pride and earthly glory, sword and crown betray our trust;
though with care and toil we build them, tower and temple fall to dust.
But God's power, hour by hour, is my temple and my tower.
3. God's great goodness e'er endureth, deep his wisdom, passing thought:
splendor, light and life attend him, beauty springeth out of naught.
Evermore from his store newborn worlds rise and adore.

OPENING ACCLAMATION BCP p. 355
Celebrant Blessed be God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
People And blessed be God’s kingdom, now and for ever. Amen.
HYMN OF PRAISE: O bless the Lord, my soul (v. 3) Hymnal 411
He will not always chide; he will with patience wait;
his wrath is ever slow to rise and ready to abate.
THE COLLECT OF THE DAY
Celebrant The Lord be with you.
People And also with you.
Celebrant Let us pray.
Almighty God, you have given your only Son to be for us a sacrifice for sin, and also
an example of godly life: Give us grace to receive thankfully the fruits of his redeeming
work, and to follow daily in the blessed steps of his most holy life; through Jesus Christ
your Son our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now
and for ever. Amen.
THE EPISTLE Ephesians 5:15-20
Be careful then how you live, not as unwise people but as wise, making the most of
the time, because the days are evil. So do not be foolish, but understand what the will
of the Lord is. Do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery; but be filled with
the Spirit, as you sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs among yourselves,
singing and making melody to the Lord in your hearts, giving thanks to God the Father
at all times and for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Reader The Word of the Lord.
People Thanks be to God.

PSALM 34:9–14 (sung in unison) Benedicam Dominum
Anglican Chant by Sam Doyle
9 Fear the LORD, you that are his / saints, *
for those who fear him lack / nothing.
10 The young lions lack and suffer / hunger, *
but those who seek the LORD lack nothing that is / good.
11 Come, children, and listen to / me; *
I will teach you the fear of the / LORD.
12 Who among you loves / life *
and desires long life to enjoy pros- / perity?
13 Keep your tongue from evil- / speaking *
and your lips from lying / words.
14 Turn from evil and do / good; *
seek peace and pur- / sue it.
THE HOLY GOSPEL John 6:51–58
Celebrant The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to John.
People Glory to you, Lord Christ.
Jesus said, “I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats of this
bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my
flesh.”
The Jews then disputed among themselves, saying, “How can this man give us his
flesh to eat?” So Jesus said to them, “Very truly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of
the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Those who eat my flesh
and drink my blood have eternal life, and I will raise them up on the last day; for my
4
flesh is true food and my blood is true drink. Those who eat my flesh and drink my
blood abide in me, and I in them. Just as the living Father sent me, and I live because
of the Father, so whoever eats me will live because of me. This is the bread that came
down from heaven, not like that which your ancestors ate, and they died. But the one
who eats this bread will live forever.”
Celebrant The Gospel of the Lord.
People Praise to you, Lord Christ.
