"All Who Hunger"

Words of Institution          
L. For I received from the Lord 
what I also delivered to you, 
that the Lord Jesus on the night 
he was betrayed took bread,
and when he had given thanks, 
he broke it and said,
R: This is my body which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.”
L: In the same way also the cup, after supper saying,
R: This cup is the new covenant in my blood.  Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.”
L: For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.

Our God who is in heaven,

Give us this day our daily bread,

and forgive us our sins

as we forgive those 
who sin against us,

and lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil.

For Your's in the Kingdom

and the power, and the glory,

for ever and ever.

Amen
