Invocation

Hymn 382: God Himself Is with Us Wunderbarer König

Prayer of Confession

Turn us, good Lord, and so shall we be turned. Be favorable, O Lord, be favorable to your people, who turn to you in repentance and prayer. For you are a merciful God, full of compassion, long-suffering, and of great pity. You spare when we deserve punishment, and in your wrath think upon mercy. Spare your people, good Lord, spare them, and let not your heritage be brought to confusion. Hear us, O Lord, for your mercy is great, and after the multitude of your mercies look upon us, through the merits and mediation of your blessed Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

The Gospel’s Assurance of Pardon: Isaiah 1:18

Come now, let us reason together, says the Lord: though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool.
