_And the Minister that delivereth the Cup to any one shall say_, The Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ, which was shed for thee, preserve thy body and soul unto everlasting life: Drink this in remembrance that Christ's Blood was shed for thee, and be thankful. | _When it is thought desirable to shorten the words of_ | _administration on Christmas-day Easter-day, and Whitsunday, or_ | _on special occasions approved by the Bishop, or in the case_ | _of the pressure caused by large and unexpected numbers, the_ | _Priest, having first said the whole words of administration_ | (_in the singular number_) _once for all the communicants, may_ | _use the first half of each form in communicating individuals_. _If the consecrated Bread or Wine be all spent before all have communicated, the Priest is to consecrate more according to the Form before prescribed: Beginning at_ [Our Saviour Christ in the same night, &c.] _for the blessing of the Bread: and at_ [Likewise after Supper, &c.] _for the blessing of the Cup_. _When all have communicated, the Minister shall return to the Lord's Table, and reverently place upon it what remaineth of the consecrated Elements, covering the same with a fair linen cloth_. _Then shall the Priest say the Lord's Prayer, the people repeating after him every petition_. Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy Name, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, in earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; And forgive us our trespasses, As we forgive them that trespass against us; And lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, For ever and ever. Amen. _After shall be said as followeth_. O Lord and heavenly Father, we thy humble servants entirely desire thy fatherly goodness mercifully to accept this our sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving; most humbly beseeching thee to grant, that by the merits and death of thy Son Jesus Christ, and through faith in his blood, we and all thy whole Church may obtain remission of our sins, and all other benefits of his passion. And here we offer and present unto thee, O Lord, ourselves, our souls and bodies, to be a reasonable, holy, and lively sacrifice unto thee; humbly beseeching thee, that all we, who are partakers of this holy Communion, may be fulfilled with thy grace and heavenly benediction. And although we be unworthy, through our manifold sins, to offer unto thee any sacrifice, yet we beseech thee to accept this our bounden duty and service; not weighing our merits, but pardoning our offences, through Jesus Christ our Lord; by whom, and with whom, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, all honour and glory be unto thee, O Father Almighty, world without end. _Amen_. _Or this_.
