I am that living bread which came down from heaven , if any man eat of this bread he shall live forever, and that bread that I shall give is my flesh, which I give for the life of the world. Whosoever eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood hath everlasting life and I will raise him up at the last day. " I pray you to sing the prayer of the Holy Ghost before the sermon which is "Come holy spirit the God of mighty, Comforter of us all"
