Invocation

Hymn 92: A Mighty Fortress Is Our God Ein Feste Burg

Prayer of Confession

Almighty God, we confess our lives abound in sinful desires and transgressions of Your holy law. Our consciences testify we are guilty before You and worthy of Your just judgment. Merciful Father, grant that we may so embrace Your infinite mercy that we may not doubt Your wrath will be turned from us, and yet not abuse this privilege by taking liberty to sin. Help us in true humility to daily flee to Your mercy, that we may be sustained and kept in safety until that day when we come to that eternal inheritance that has been obtained for us by the blood of Your only begotten Son. Amen.

The Gospel’s Assurance of Pardon: Romans 6:23

For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Doxology 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. Amen.
