Before Benediction – Humbly Let Us Voice Our Homage

Humbly let us voice our homage
for so great a sacrament:
let all former rites surrender
to the Lord’s New Testament;
what our senses fail to fathom
let us grasp through faith’s consent!
Glory, honor, adoration
let us sing with one accord!
praised be God, almighty Father;
praised be Christ, his Son, our Lord;
praised be God, the Holy Spirit;
Triune Godhead be adored! Amen.

℣. You have given them bread from heaven (alleluia).
℟. Having all sweetness within it (alleluia).

Let us pray.

Lord Jesus Christ, you gave us the Eucharist as the memorial of your suffering and death. May our worship of this sacrament of your body and blood help us to experience the salvation you won for us, and the peace of the kingdom where you live with the Father and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.
