ANOINTING OF THE ALTAR

After introducing this rite, the bishop pours chrism on the middle of the altar and on each of its four corners. Meanwhile, the following is sung:

1~ 1 1 I~ J I j J lJ I ~ J j I * J J ~ II 11

The Lord has a noint - ed you with ho - ly oil.

INCENSATION OF THE ALTAR

After the rite of anointing, a brazier is placed on the altar for burning incense. The bishop places incense into the brazier as well as into the censer. He then incenses the altar. The bishop is then incensed as well as the assembly.

LIGHTING OF THE ALTAR

After the incensation, a few ministers wipe the table of the altar with cloths. The altar is then covered with a cloth. The altar candles are arranged in a suitable manner for the celebration of Mass. The candles are then lit and the lights in the chapel are turned up. The Liturgy of the Eucharist follows, as usual. Meanwhile, the following is sung:

0 nata lux de lumine Jesu redemptor saeculi Dignare clemens supplicum Laudes precesque sumere.

Qui carne quondam contegi Dignatus es pro perditis Nos membra confer effici, Tui beati corporis.

When the altar is ready, the gifts of bread and wine are brought forward for the Eucharistic sacrifice.
