THE HYMN OF PRAISE
REV. KS TSIANE AMEH 750
1. And are we yet alive And see each other’s face? Glory and praise to Jesus given For his redeeming grace!
2. Preserved by power Divine To full salvation here, Again in Jesus’ praise we join And in his sight appear
3. What troubles have we seen What conflicts have we passed, Fightings without, and fears within Since we assembled last.
4. But out of all the Lord Hath brought us by his love; And still he doth his help afford, And hides our life above. Page 4 of 20
5. The let us make our boast Of His redeeming power, Which saves us to the uttermost, Till we can sin no more.
6. Let us take up the Cross Till we the crown obtain; And gladly reckon all things loss, So we may Jesus gain. A-men

Eternal truth attends thy word; Thy praise shall sound from shore to shore, ‘Till sun shall rise and set no more.” SUMMARY OF THE DECALOGUE
REV. N GECO

I am the Lord thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shall have no other gods before me.
People:
Lord have mercy upon us, and incline our hearts to keep this law. Nearer, my God, to thee, Nearer to thee! E’en though it be a cross, That raiseth me. Still all my song shall be, Nearer, my God, to thee.
ALL:
Hear what Christ our Saviour saith, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the Page 5 of 20
second is like unto it: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning, is now , and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. BENEVOLENT OFFERING

THE SOLICITATION BISHOP SILVESTER S. BEAMAN “You that do truly and earnestly repent of your sins, and are in love and charity with your neighbor, and intend to lead a new life, following the commandments of God, and walking from henceforth in His holy ways, draw near with faith and take the holy sacraments to your comfort, and make your humble confession to Almighty God, meekly kneeling.” THE GENERAL CONFESSION BISHOP SILVESTER S. BEAMAN “Almighty God, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, maker of all things, judge of all men, we acknowledge and bewail our manifold sins and wickedness which we from time to time most grievously have committed by thought, word and deed against your divine Majesty, provoking most justly your wrath and indignation against us. We do earnestly repent and are heartily sorry for these our misdoings; the remembrance of them is grievous unto us. Have mercy upon us, have mercy upon us, most merciful Father for your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ’s sake; forgive us all that is past, and grant that we may ever hereafter serve and please thee in newness of life, to the honor and glory of your name, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.” THE FIRST COLLECT REV. LSF MOTLHAUDI “Almighty God, our Heavenly Father, who of your great mercy has promised forgiveness of sins to all them that with hearty repentance and true faith turn unto you, have mercy upon us; pardon and deliver us from all our sins; confirm and strengthen us in all goodness; and bring us to everlasting life through Jesus Christ, our Lord, Amen.” THE SECOND COLLECT
REV. MW BIKWA

PRAYER OF ADORATION REV. BK PHOKO Minister: It is very meet, right and our bounden duty that we shall at all times, and in all places give thanks unto you, O Lord, Holy Father, Almighty, Everlasting God. ALL: Therefore, with angels and archangels, and with all the company of heaven, we laud and magnify Your Holy Name, ever more praising you and saying: Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of host; heaven and earth are full of your glory. Glory be to You, O Lord, most high. Amen. PRAYER OF HUMILIATION REV. N. GECO “We do not presume to come to this your table, O merciful Lord, trusting in our own righteousness, but in your manifold and great mercies. We are not worthy so much as to gather crumbs under your table. But you are the same Lord whose property is always to have mercy. Grant us, therefore, Gracious Lord, so to eat the flesh of your dear son Jesus Christ, and to drink his blood that our sinful souls and bodies may be made clean by His death and washed through His blood, and that we may evermore dwell in him and be in us. Amen.” PRAYER OF CONSECRATION BISHOP SILVESTER S. BEAMAN “Almighty God, our Heavenly Father, who by your tender mercy did give your only son, Jesus Christ, to suffer death on the cross for our redemption, who made thereby his oblation of himself, once offered, a full perfect and sufficient sacrifice, oblation, and satisfaction for the sins of the whole world; and did institute and in his holy gospel command us to continue a perpetual memory of that his precious death until his coming again; hear us, O merciful Father, we most humbly beseech you, and grant that we receiving these your creatures of bread and wine, according to your son, our Saviour Jesus Christ’s holy institution, in remembrance of his death and passion may be partakers of his most blessed body and blood: Who in the same night that he was betrayed took bread, (here the Minister is to take a piece of bread into his hand)and when he had given thanks, he broke it, (the celebrant breaks the bread), and gave it to his disciples saying, ‘Take, eat, this (and here lay his hands upon all the bread), is my body which is broken for you. This do in remembrance of me.’ Likewise, after the supper he took the cup (and here to lay his hands upon all vessels containing the wine) and when he had given thanks he gave it unto them saying, ‘Drink all of it, for this is my blood of New Testament, which is shed for you and for many for the remission of sins; do this, as often as you shall drink it, in remembrance of me. Amen.” Sharing of elements THE PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING BISHOP SILVESTER S. BEAMAN "O Lord, our Heavenly Father, we your humble servants, desire your fatherly goodness mercifully to accept this our sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving; most humbly beseeching you to grant that by the merits and death of your Son, Jesus Christ, and through faith in his blood, we and your whole church may obtain remission of our sins and all other benefits of his passion. And here we offer and present unto you, O Lord, ourselves, our souls and bodies, to be a reasonable, holy and living sacrifice unto you; humbly beseeching thee that all we who are partakers of his holy communion may be filled with your grace and heavenly benediction. And although we be unworthy, through our manifold sins, to offer unto you any sacrifice, yet we beseech you to accept this our bounden duty and service; not weighing our merits, but pardoning our offences, through Christ our Lord; by whom and with whom in the unity of the Holy Spirit all honor and glory be unto you, O Father, Almighty, world without end. Amen.” THE GLORIA IN EXCELSIS BISHOP SILVESTER S. BEAMAN “Glory be to God on high, and on earth peace, goodwill towards men. We praise you, we bless you, we glorify you, we give thanks unto you for your great glory. O Lord God, heavenly king, God the Father Almighty. O Lord, the only begotten Son Jesus Christ; O Lord God, Lamb of God, son of the father that takes away the sins Page 8 of 20
of the world, have mercy upon us; You who take away the sins of the world, receive our prayer. You who sit at the right hand of God the Father, have mercy upon us. For you alone are holy; you alone are the Lord; you alone O Christ, with the Holy Ghost are most high in the glory of God the Father. Amen.” ANNOUNCEMENTS THE DOXOLOGY & BENEDICTION
