Invocation

Hymn 5: God, My King, Thy Might Confessing Stuttgart

Prayer of Confession

O Lord our God, no day of our lives passes that does not prove us guilty in Your sight. Even our best efforts are as filthy rags before You. We ask You to forgive our sin because He who knew no sin was made to be sin for us; that in Christ we might be fully pardoned and restored. Grant that, by resting in His righteousness alone, we may hereafter walk in newness of life, and run with endurance the race that is set before us, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

The Gospel’s Assurance of Pardon: 1 John 1:8–9

If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

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!
