P. 6
Priest: Let us offer each other the sign of peace.
The sign of peace is usually a handshake or an embrace. All then say:
All: Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world, have
mercy on us.
Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world, have
mercy on us.
Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world, grant
us peace.
Please sit or kneel
Priest: Behold the Lamb of God, behold him who takes away the sins
of the world. Blessed are those called to the supper of the
Lamb.
People: Lord, I am not worthy that you should enter under my
roof, but only say the word and my soul shall be healed.
The people come to receive Holy Communion. Those who are not
receiving are very welcome to come forward for a blessing from the
priest. Please cross your hands in front of you to indicate this to him.
Communion Hymn
Love divine, all loves excelling,
joy of heav'n to earth come down,
fix in us Thy humble dwelling;
all Thy faithful mercies crown!
Jesus, Thou art all compassion,
pure, unbounded love Thou art;
visit us with Thy salvation;
enter every trembling heart.
Come, Almighty to deliver;
let us all Thy life receive;
suddenly return and never,
nevermore Thy temples leave.
Thee we would be always blessing,
serve Thee as Thy hosts above;
pray, and praise Thee without ceasing,
glory in Thy perfect love.
