Invocation

Hymn 164: O For a Thousand Tongues to Sing Azmon

Prayer of Confession

Our God and Father, we praise you that your mercies are new every morning; great is your faithfulness! We confess that we are daily in need of your grace, for sin clings so closely that we can hardly do anything from a pure heart. We need your Holy Spirit to sanctify us by your Word and keep us from all manner of temptation and evil. Grant us the assurance that in Christ we are no longer slaves to sin, and that in him we are new creations. Lord, have mercy upon us, for the sake of your dear Son, our Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.

The Gospel’s Assurance of Pardon: Ephesians 2:8–9

For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.

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.
