The German Mass and Order of Service, 1526

Glen has just posted on the differences between Luther and Cramner on the Lord's Supper. Pete Jackson asked what Luther's liturgy for Communion was. It ran something like this, although these were more guidelines than the equivalent of the BCP:

To begin the service we sing a hymn or a German Psalm...

Then follows the Kyrie eleison...

Thereupon the priest reads a collect...

Thereafter the Epistle...

After the Epistle a German hymn...

Then he reads the Gospel...

After the Gospel the whole congregation sings the Creed in German...

Then follows the sermon on the Gospel...

After the sermon shall follow a public paraphrase of the Lord's Prayer and admonition for those who want to partake of the sacrament...

• I admonish you first of all to lift up your hearts to God to pray with me the Lord's Prayer, as Christ our Lord has taught us and graciously promised to hear us...
• [A expanded Lord's prayer where each of the petitions is explored]
• Secondly I admonish you in Christ that you discern the Testament of Christ in true faith and, above all, take to heart the words wherein Christ imparts to us his body and his blood for the remission of our sins. That you remember and give thanks for his boundless love which he proved to us when he redeemed us from God's wrath, sin, death and hell by his own blood. And that in this faith you externally receive the bread and wine, i.e., his body and his blood, as the pledge and guarantee of this. In his name therefore, and according to the command that he gave, let us use and receive the Testament...

Thereupon the Office and Consecration [i.e. 1 Cor 11:23-25]...

administer the sacrament immediately after the consecration of the bread, before the cup is blessed...Meanwhile, the German Sanctus or the hymn "Let God Be Blest," or the hymn of John Huss, "Jesus Christ, Out god and Savior," could be sung. Then the cup be blessed and administered, while the remainder of these hymns are sung, or the German Agnus Dei....

The collect follows with the benediction.

(pp. 389ff, e.d. Theodore G. Tappert, Selected Writings of Martin Luther vol.3)

Got to love the two 'admonitions'!

I probably also ought to note that the Kyrie, the scripture texts, the Creed and the Office and Consecration are all sung. There is a lot of music.
