KYRIE ELEISON - Missa Brevis in C, K 258 Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
GLORIA IN EXCELSIS
COLLECT

O GOD, who in a wonderful Sacrament hast left us a memorial of thy Passion: grant that we may so reverence the sacred mysteries of thy Body and Blood; that we may ever enjoy within ourselves the fruit of thy redemption: Who livest. Amen.


EPISTLE I Corinthians 11.23
BRETHREN: I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you. That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread, and when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said: Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying: This cup is the new Testament in my blood. This do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come. Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, or drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. But let a man examine himself: and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh judgment to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.

GRADUAL - Oculi omnium
The eyes of all wait upon thee, O Lord: and thou givest them their meat in due season. Thou openest thine hand: and fillest all things living with plenteousness.


ALLELUIA
- Caro mea
Alleluia, alleluia. My flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed: he that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.
SEQUENCE Lauda, Sion, salvatorem - Evangelists


THE HOLY GOSPEL S. John 6.55
At that time: Jesus said unto the multitudes of the Jews: My flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him. As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me. This is that bread which came down from heaven. Not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead. He that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.

As often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come: wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread or drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord, alleluia.

MOTET Behold, the Tabernacle of God William Harris
Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and the Spirit, the Spirit of God dwelleth within you: for the temple of God is holy. Which temple ye are: for the love of whom ye do this day celebrate the joys of the temple with a season of festivity. Alleluia.
