We do not presume to come to this thy table, O merciful God,
trusting in our own righteousness, but thy manifold great mercies.
We are not worthy so much as to gather up the crumbs under thy
table. But thou art the same God, whose property is always to have
mercy; grant us therefore, gracious God, so to eat the flesh of thy
dear Son, Jesus Christ, to drink his blood, that our sinful bodies
may be made clean by his body, our souls washed through his most
precious blood. That we may evermore dwell with him, and he with us.
Amen.
