CONCLUDING PRAYER
                                   said by the Priest

                      THE LITURGY OF THE EUCHARIST

       The offerings for mass are prepared, as we sing:

                        The Lord’s my Shepherd, I’ll not want.
                               He makes me down to lie
                           In pastures green; He leadeth me
                                 The quiet waters by.

                            My soul He doth restore again;
                              And me to walk doth make
                           Within the paths of righteousness,
                            Even for His own Name’s sake.

                        Yea, though I walk in death’s dark vale,
                                 Yet will I fear no ill;
                          For Thou art with me; and Thy rod
                              And staff my comfort still.

                             My table Thou hast furnishèd
                                In presence of my foes;
                          My head Thou dost with oil anoint,
                                And my cup overflows.

                            Goodness and mercy all my life
                                Shall surely follow me;
                           And in God’s house forevermore
                              My dwelling place shall be.

       All stand
       Priest:    Pray, my brothers and sisters, that my sacrifice and yours may
                  be acceptable to God, the almighty Father.
       All:       May the Lord accept this sacrifice at your hands for the
                  praise and glory of his name, for our good and the good of
                  all his holy church.
