Prayer of Humble Access

We do not presume to come to this thy Table, O mercifulLord, trusting in our own righteousness, but in thy manifoldand great mercies. We are not worthy so much as to gatherup the crumbs under thy Table. But thou art the same Lordwhose property is always to have mercy. Grant us therefore,gracious Lord, so to eat the flesh of thy dear Son Jesus Christ,and to drink his blood, that we may evermore dwell in him,and he in us. Amen.
