O let this cup of blessing which we bless, be the communion of the blood of Christ; let this bread which we break, be the communion of the body of Christ, and enable us herein to show the Lord’s death till he come. 1 Cor 10:16; 1 Cor 11:20.

Now let us be joined to the Lord in an everlasting covenant; so joined to the Lord as to become one spirit with him. Now let us be made partakers of Christ, by holding fast the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end. Jer 15:1 1 Cor 6:17. Heb 3:14.

Let Christ’s flesh be meat indeed to us, and his blood drink indeed ; and give us so by faith to eat his flesh, and drink his blood, that he may dwell in us, and we in him, and we may live by him. John 6:55–57.

Let the cross of Christ, which is to the Jews a stumbling-block, and to the Greeks foolishness, be to us the wisdom of God, and the power of God. 1 Cor 1:23, 24.

Seal to us the remission of sins, the gift of the Holy Ghost, and the promise of eternal life; and enable us to take this cup of salvation, and to call on the name of the Lord. Actsu.38. 1 Johnii. 25. Ps 116:13.
