All: We believe in one God,
the Father, the Almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all that is seen and unseen.
We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ,
the only Son of God,
eternally begotten of the Father
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made,
of one being with the Father
Through Him all things were made.
For us men and for our salvation,
He came down from heaven;
by the power of the Holy Spirit
He became incarnate of the Virgin Mary
and was made man.
For our sake He was crucified under Pontius Pilate:
He suffered death and was buried.
On the third day He rose again
in accordance with the scriptures;
He ascended into heaven,
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory,
to judge the living and the dead,
and His kingdom will have no end.
We believe in the Holy Spirit,
the Lord, the Giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son.
With the Father and the Son
He is worshipped and glorified;
He has spoken through the prophets.
We believe in one, Holy,
Catholic and Apostolic Church;
we acknowledge one baptism
for the forgiveness of sins.
We look for the resurrection of the dead,
and the life of the world to come. Amen

President: Truly holy, truly blessed are You, O heavenly Father, who of Your tender love towards mankind did give Your only Son Jesus Christ to take our nature upon him and to suffer death upon the cross for our redemption; who made there, by His one oblation of Himself once offered, a full, perfect, and sufficient sacrifice, oblation and satisfaction, for the sins of the whole world: and did institute and in his Holy gospel command us to continue, a perpetual memory of that his precious death, until His coming again, who, in the same night that He was betrayed *(he takes the paten into his hand) took bread, and when He had given thanks, He broke it, and gave it to His disciples saying, “Take, eat *(he lays his hands upon the bread) this is my body which is given for you: do this in remembrance of me”. Likewise after supper*(he lifts the cup) He took the Cup, and, when He had given thanks, He gave it to them, saying, “Drink this all of you, for this is *(he touches the chalice or flagon) my blood of the new covenant, which is shed for you and for many for the remission of sins, do this, as often as you shall drink it, in remembrance of me”
All: Amen. Your death.
O Lord, we commemorate,
Your resurrection we confess,
and Your second coming we await
Glory be to You, O Christ.
President: Wherefore, O Father, having in remembrance the precious death and passion, and glorious resurrection and ascension of Your Son our Lord, we Your servants do this in remembrance of Him, as He had commanded. Until His coming again, giving thanks to You for the perfect redemption which You have wrought for us in Him.
All: We give thanks to You, we praise You,we glorify You,O Lord our God.
President: And we most humbly pray You, O merciful Father, to sanctify with Your Holy Spirit, us and these Your own gifts of bread and wine, that the bread which we break may be the communion of the body of Christ and the cup which we bless may be the communion of the blood of Christ, Grant that being joined together in Him, we may all attain to the unity of the faith, and may grow up in all things unto Him who is the Head, even Christ, our Lord, by Whom and with Whom in the unity of the Holy Spirit all honour and glory be unto You, O Father Almighty, world without end.
All: Amen.
Silence may be kept.

    to come to Your table,
    merciful Lord,
    trusting in our own righteousness
    but in Your manifold and great mercies.

    But You are the same Lord,
    whose nature is always to have mercy.
    Grant us, therefore, gracious Lord,
    so to eat the flesh of Your dear Son Jesus Christ,

So we and Your children shall be free, and the whole earth live to praise Your name: through Christ our Lord.
