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.
