I humbly confess that I am born sinful, prone to do evil,incapable of any good, and that in my depravity I transgress Thy HolyCommandments without end or ceasing. I realize that my sin is great andjustly deserves full judgment. And I would not lessen my sinfulness bypretending to have no faults. Nevertheless, O Lord, I am grieved that Ihave offended Thee and beseech Thee to relieve my distress by Yourgracious forgiveness. Please, for the sake of Jesus, the only mediatorbetween God and man, forgive me, a sinner.ASSURANCE OF PARDON**HYMN OF PRAISE“Let Us Love and Sing and Wonder”#172PRAYERTHE GIVING OF TITHES AND OFFERINGS(Please sign the registration pad with complete address)OFFERTORY*DOXOLOGY*THE OFFERTORY PRAYERPSALTER READINGPsalm 32p. 795ANTHEM (11:00)My Eternal KingMarshallMy God, I love Thee; not because I hope for heaven thereby,Nor yet because who love Thee not must die eternally.Thou, O my Jesus, Thou didst me upon the cross embrace;For me didst bear the nails, the nails and spear, and manifold disgrace;Why, then why, O blessed Jesus Christ, should I not love Thee well?Not for the hope of winning heaven or of escaping hell;Not with the hope of gaining aught, not seeking a reward;But as Thyself hast loved me, O everloving Lord!E’en so I love Thee, and will love, and in Thy praise will sing;Solely because Thou art my God, and my Eternal King.
