Hymn 21: Sing Praise to the Lord! Laudate Dominum

Prayer of Confession

Sovereign Lord, to whom angels cry “Holy, holy, holy,” you are infinite, eternal, and unchanging in your being, wisdom, power, truth, and goodness. In your presence we recognize that we are more sinful than we ever thought. Our sin blinds us to the truth of who we really are. Yet you see all and know all; we cannot hide even our deepest secrets from you. O God, cleanse us by your Holy Spirit, and renew us by your grace. Help us to trust more fully in the righteousness of Christ, who died for our sin, and was raised for our justification. Amen.

The Gospel’s Assurance of Pardon: Colossians 2:13–14

And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses, by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross.

Doxology 733 Lasst Uns Erfreuen

Praise God from whom all blessings flow; praise him, all creatures here below; alleluia, alleluia!
Praise him above, ye heav’nly host; praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
