Wilhelm Loehe's excellent Eucharistic Exhortation found in his Pastor's devotional classic _Seed-Grains of Prayer_

"DEARLY Beloved! Forasmuch as we purpose to come to the Holy Supper of our Lord Jesus Christ, wherein He hath given us His Body to eat and His Blood to drink, it becometh us diligently to examine ourselves as Saint Paul exhorteth. For this Holy Sacrament hath been instituted for the special comfort and strengthening of those who humbly confess their sins, and who hunger and thirst after righteousness. But if we thus examine ourselves, we shall find in us nothing but sin and death, from which we can in no wise set ourselves free. Therefore, our Lord Jesus Christ hath had mercy upon us, becoming incarnate for our sins' sake, that so He might fulfill for us the holy will and law of God, and for us and our deliverance suffer death and all that we by our sins have deserved. And to that end that we should the more confidently believe this, and be strengthened by our faith in cheerful obedience to His will, He took bread, and when He had given thanks He brake it, saying, "Take and eat, this is My Body which is given for you," that is to say, I have taken upon Myself human nature, and all which I do and suffer, I do and suffer for you. It is all for you, and unto your certain knowledge and testimony of this, I give you My Body to eat. After the same manner, also, He took the cup, and when He had given thanks,* He gave it to them, saying, "Drink ye all of it; This cup is the New Testament in My Blood, which is shed for you, and for many, for the remission of sins; this do, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of Me," that is to say, since I have interested Myself in you, and have taken your sins upon Me, I shall offer Myself for sin unto death, shed My Blood, work out for you all grace and the pardon of your sin, and so set up a new testament wherein your sin is forgiven you and will be no more remembered eternally. Unto your certain knowledge and testimony of this, I give you My Blood to drink.

Therefore, who eateth of this bread, and drinketh of this cup, firmly believing the words of Christ, and the evidences which he receives of Christ, dwelleth in Christ, and Christ in Him, and hath eternal life.We should also do this in remembrance of Him, showing His death, that He was delivered for our offences, and raised again for our justification, and rendering unto Him most hearty thanks for the same, take up our cross and follow Him; and, according to His commandment, love one another even as He hath loved us. For we are all one bread and one body, even as we are all partakers of this one bread and drink of this one cup. For, as from many berries all crushed together, one wine and one drink comes forth; and from many grains one flour is ground and one bread or loaf is baked, so also all who are members of Christ through faith shall in brotherly love, for Christ our Redeemer's sake, be one body and meat and drink in deed, not in words alone, but in very deed and truth, as St. John teacheth (1. John 3). Showing forth faithfully this relation one to another without shadow of deception. To all this may the Almighty and merciful God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ help us by His Holy Spirit. Amen."

This is a beautiful example of Loehe's liturgical zeal. This was written by the German Pastor who sent CFW Walther and Martin Stephan to America. Walther would later be the first president of the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod. I'm still awaiting Loehe's _Aphorisms On the New Testament Offices and their Relationship to the Congregation—On the Question of Church’s Polity_ (1849) in the mail.
