THE ALTAR, ALTAR CROSS, EUCHARISTIC CANDLESTICKS,
SEVEN BRANCH CANDELABRA, MISSAL STAND, OFFERING PLATES
ANTIPHON (all): # Arise, go up to Bethel, and dwell there; and make there an altar
unto God.
I	will go unto the altar of God.
#	Even unto the God of my joy and gladness.
Let Us Pray
Almighty God, who of old didst command thy servants to erect altars unto thy Name, and by thy blessed Son didst sanctify the Holy Table in the upper room by the offering of the Holy Eucharist; Bless, we beseech thee, this Altar and Altar Memorials, and grant that the offerings made here may be acceptable unto thee, both to the relief of our necessities and to the setting forth of thy glory; through the same Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
After blessing the Altar, the Bishop shall turn to the People, and say,
The Lord be with you;
#	And with thy spirit.
Lift up your hearts;
#	We Lift them up unto the Lord.
Let us give thanks unto our Lord God;
#	It is meet and right so to do.
Then turning back to the Altar, he shall continue,
It is very meet, right and our bounden duty, that we should at all times, and in all places, give thanks unto thee, O Lord, Holy Father, who dwellest in the heavens, yet hast thy habitation among the sons of men; who by thy blessed Son, our Saviour Jesus Christ, didst cleanse the temple, that it might be a house of prayer for all people; Regard, we beseech thee, the supplications of thy people; cleanse and sanctify this house, which we desire to dedicate unto thee, that being devoted henceforth to the proclamation of thy glorious Gospel, the ministration of thy Holy Sacraments, and the offering of prayer and praise, it may be filled with the glory of thine abiding presence, and may be an holy temple acceptable unto thee; through the same 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.
Then the Bishop shall pour water on the midst of the Altar in the form of a cross, and shall say,
I	dedicate this Altar, and- this Temple, together with all the Vessels and Vestments thereof, to the glory of God. In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.
Here the bell shall be rung, and the organ shall sound for the first time. The Bishop shall dry the Altar with a towel, and then go to his seat.
