[@Silam81]

Hail, thou once despised Jesus!
Hail, thou Galilean King!
Thou didst suffer to release us;
thou didst free salvation bring.
Hail, thou universal Savior,
bearer of our sin and shame,
by thy merit we find favor:
life is given through thy Name.
Paschal Lamb, by God appointed,
all our sins on thee were laid:
by almighty love anointed,
thou hast full atonement made.
All thy people are forgiven
through the virtue of thy blood:
opened is the gate of heaven,
peace is made 'twixt man and God.
Jesus, hail! enthroned in glory,
there for ever to abide;
all the heavenly hosts adore thee,
seated at thy Father's side.
There for sinners thou art pleading:
there thou dost our place prepare;
thou for saints are interceding
till in glory they appear.
Worship, honor, power, and blessing
thou art worthy to receive;
highest praises, without ceasing,
meet it is for us to give.
Help, ye bright angelic spirits,
bring your sweetest, noblest lays;
help to sing of Jesus' merits,
help to chant Emmanuel's praise!

I love being an Anglican

[@OrlandoMusic333]

How about an Anglican that joins the Catholic Church, but still keeps their Anglican patrimony? That's the best! Full communion with Christ's Church, and awesome liturgies!

@@OrlandoMusic333 Even after the re-Protestantisation following the enthronement of Queen Elizabeth I, it was possible to preserve the Catholic liturgical elements in the Anglican Church of England, - as in the Old Catholic Church (Union of Utrecht), the Old Lutheran Church and the Swedish Lutheran Church in Northern Germany and Scandinavia. - In fact, the liturgies are immensely similar regardless of liturgical language. The Ordinarium Missae and the paraments, for example, have been preserved 1:1.
