"Surely the Presence"
Surely the presence of
the Lord is in this place;
I can feel his mighty power
and his grace.
I can hear the brush
of angels' wings,
I see glory on each face,
surely the presence of
the Lord is in this place.

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.
