COUNT us worthy of this communion also, O God of Truth, and make our bodies to contain purity and our souls prudence and knowledge; and make us wise, O God of Compassions, by the participation of the body and blood, because through Thy Only-Begotten to Thee is glory and strength in the Holy Spirit, now and to all the ages of the ages.

WE RENDER Thee thanks, O Lord our God, that Thou hast given us boldness to enter into the Holiest, through the Blood of Jesus, by the new and living Way Which Thou hast consecrated through the veil of flesh of Thy Christ; therefore, thus entering into the tabernacle of Thy glory and brought within the veil, we fall down before Thee, full of fear and dread … but Thou, O Lord, send forth Thy grace, and hallow our souls, bodies and spirits, that so with pure hearts we may in receiving forgiveness offer to Thee a sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving; through the Same Jesus Christ, Thy Son, our Lord, who livest and reignest with the Father and the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end. Amen. (Oremus, 1925, p.140 adapted).

Amen. (Oremus, 1925, p.131).
