Commontide

After Receiving Communion

O Lord Jesus Christ, in this wonderful Sacrament you have given us a memorial of your passion: Grant us, we pray, so to venerate the sacred mysteries of your Body and Blood, that we may ever perceive within ourselves the fruit of your redemption; who live and reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Hymnal

Awake, my soul, stretch every nerve

Particularly Appropriate During Lent

№ 32 · CHRISTMAS · Liturgical Year — Lent · Philip Doddridge

1.Awake my soul, stretch ev'ry nerve, And press with vigour on;
A heav'nly race demands thy zeal. And an immortal crown,
And an immortal crown.

2.A cloud of witnesses around
Hold thee in full survey;
Forget the steps already trod,
And onward urge thy way.
And onward urge thy way.

3.'Tis God's all-animating voice
That calls thee from on high;
'Tis His own hand presents the prize
To thine uplifted eye.
To thine uplifted eye.

4.Then wake, my soul, stretch every nerve,
And press with vigour on;
A heavenly race demands thy zeal,
And an immortal crown.
And an immortal crown.
