Sunday prayer

Confession of Sins and Prayer for Forgiveness

Let us come before the Lord with our prayer and confession.  

We confess, before you, holy God, that we have sinned often and in manifold ways by thoughts, words and deeds. 

Look on us in mercy, and forgive us, for the sake of Jesus Christ, the sins we have committed. 

This is a word to trust and fully take to heart: Jesus Christ has come into the world to save sinners. In the name of Jesus Amen.

                                                            The Song of Praise

Glory to God in the highest and peace to his people on earth .

 To God alone in highest heav'n may songs of praise be sungen. For all the grace he merciful he wants to show among us. Great joy and peace He sends to earth So may we ever now rejoice: we know God's grace and power  O Jesus Christ, God's only Son, you saw our need and danger. All heav'nly splendour you laid off to come and be our Saviour. With your own blood, your bitter death, you save us from all sin and death have mercy, O Lord Jesus.
O Holy Spirit, make us saints, contented and courageous. Our hearts, make them your temple where God is praised in everything. Give help, give comfort, we are weak and give us faith in Jesus Christ today and ever. Amen.
