Description: Part 2 of a liturgical form for Communion used in many Dutch Reformed churches.
(Liturgy, Reformed Churches, Part 6) And when he gives the cup: The cup of blessing, which we bless, is the communion of the blood of Christ. (During the communion, there shall or may be devoutly sung, a psalm, or some chapter read, in remembrance of the death of Christ, as the 53rd chapter of Isaiah, the 13th, 14th, 15th, 16th, 17th, and 18th chapters of John, or the like.)
