eucharistic prayer The Lord is here God’s Spirit is with us Lift up your hearts We lift them up to God Let us give thanks to the Lord our God It is right to give God thanks and praise O Lord our God, sustainer of the universe, at your command all things came to be: the vast expanse of interstellar space; galaxies, suns, the planets in their courses, and this fragile earth, our island home. By your will they were created and have their being.

Redeemer God, word become flesh, we remember you in bread and wine; your body, your blood, broken so we with all creation may be made perfect. Through your sacrifice death is nulled. Through your resurrection we have a future. Thankyou

Therefore with angels and animals, microbes and mountains, and all that lives for you we proclaim how wonderful you are, we pour out our thanks to you in song that never sleeps:

Holy holy holy lord Holy holy holy lord God of power and might God of power and might Heaven and earth are full of your glory Heaven and earth are full of your glory Hosanna in the highest Hosanna in the highest

And now we ask that by the power of your Holy Spirit this bread and wine may be to us Christ's body and his blood; who, on the night that he was handed over to suffering and death, took bread, thanked you and broke it He gave it to his friends saying 'Eat this, it is my body given for you. Do this in memory of me.'

Later after supper he took the cup, thanked you, and gave it to them saying 'Drink this all of you, this is my blood of the new covenant which is shed for you and for many for the forgiveness of sins. Do this whenever you drink it in memory of me.'

Christ has died, Christ is risen Christ has died, Christ is risen Christ will come again Christ will come again

In this place where heaven and earth meet under the rainbow of God's promise, in this sharing of bread and wine future hope becomes reality now

So bring your scorched earth bring your harvest bring your open sky bring your restless guilty waters bring your swift unbending road bring your urgent inner city to the table where your host says 'I make all things new'

Lamb of God you take away the sin of the world Lamb of God you take away the sin of the world Have mercy, mercy on us
