Call to Worship

Doxology Old Hundredth

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.

Prayer of Confession

Dear Lord God, we cannot count the sins that we have done and are still doing. We have forgotten most of them and no longer feel any guilt. Whatever is in us apart from your grace is sin and condemned. Thus, we must altogether despair of ourselves, our works, and our powers. We know not what else to do but to pray for your mercy. Our joy and comfort is that you grant the forgiveness of all our sins out of your pure grace, only through Christ our Lord. Amen.

The Gospel’s Assurance of Pardon: 1 John 4:10

In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

Invocation

Hymn 97: We Praise You, O God, Our Redeemer, Creator Kremser

Responsive Reading: Psalm 31:1–8 (pew Bible p. 461)

Gloria Patri Meineke

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost;
as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen, Amen.

Apostles' Creed

I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; he descended into hell. The third day he rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God, the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy catholic church; the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting. Amen.

Prayer of Intercession (concluding with The Lord’s Prayer)

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.

O praise ye the Lord, praise Him in the height; rejoice in His word ye angels of light! Ye heavens adore Him by whom ye were made, and worship before Him in brightness arrayed. O praise ye the lord, praise Him upon earth, in tuneful accord, ye sons, of new birth, praise Him who hath brought you His grace from above, praise Him who hath taught you to sing of His love. O praise ye the Lord! Thanksgiving and song to Him be outpoured. All ages along; for love in creation for heaven restored, for grace of salvation, O praise ye the Lord. Amen!
