Prayer of Confession
We confess to You, O God, that we have sinned against heaven and in Your sight, and are not worthy to be called Your children. We have forgotten You, and have broken Your holy laws. We have been wayward and disobedient. We have been selfish and unkind. For the sake of Your dear Son our Savior we beseech You to pardon our sins, to make clean our hearts within us, and to grant us Your peace.
The Gospel's Assurance of Pardon: Romans 8:33-34
Who shall bring any charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies. Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that, who was raised—who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us.
Doxology (Trinity Hymnal 732) Tallis' Canon
Praise God from Whom all blessings flow;
Praise Him, all creatures here below;
Praise Him above ye heav'nly host,
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost!
