People:   All the earth worships you; they sing praises to you,

 

Prayer of Confession (in unison)

Ever-loving God, I confess that I have not believed in thee, but have put my faith and trust more in creatures than in thee, because I have feared them more than thee.  And for their benefit and pleasure, I have done and left undone many things in disobedience to thee and thy commandments.

I confess that I have taken thy holy Name in vain, that I have often sworn falsely and lightly by the same, that I have not always professed it nor kept it holy as I ought; but even more, I have slandered it often and grossly with all my life, words, and deeds.

Wherefore I beseech thee, O heavenly Father, that, thou wouldst graciously forgive me these and all my sins.  Keep and preserve me henceforth that I may walk only in thy way and live according to thy will; and all of this through Jesus Christ, thy dear Son, our Savior.  Amen.

--Martin Bucer 1539

 

Declaration of Forgiveness

Leader:  The saying is sure and worthy of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners (I Tim. 1:15).

People:  He himself bore our sins in his body on the cross, so that, free from sins, we might live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed (I Peter 2:24).

Psalm 66:8-19

 

8  Bless our God, O peoples, let the sound of his praise be heard,

9  who has kept us among the living, and has not let our feet slip.

10  For you, O God, have tested us; you have tried us as silver is tried.

11  You brought us into the net; you laid burdens on our backs;

12  you let people ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water; yet you have brought us out to a spacious place.

13  I will come into your house with burnt offerings; I will pay you my vows,

14  those that my lips uttered and my mouth promised when I was in trouble.

15  I will offer to you burnt offerings of fatlings, with the smoke of the sacrifice of rams; I will make an offering of bulls and goats.

16  Come and hear, all you who fear God, and I will tell what he has done for me.

17  I cried aloud to him, and he was extolled with my tongue.

18  If I had cherished iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not have listened.

19  But truly God has listened; he has given heed to the words of my prayer.
