SILENT PREPARATION

CALL TO WORSHIP

Psalm 107:1–9 (responsive)

PRAYER OF INVOCATION

WORSHIPING GOD IN SONG

Lo, He Comes With Clouds Ascending

Stricken, Smitten, And Afflicted

CORPORATE CONFESSION OF SIN

Grant, Almighty God, since the disease of pride remains fixed in us all through our original corruption in our father Adam,—Grant, I say, that we may learn to mortify our spirits, and to be displeased with our conduct, as we ought; may we feel ourselves to be deprived of all wisdom and rectitude without thee alone. May we fly to thy pity, and confess ourselves utterly subject to eternal death; may we rely on thy goodness which thou hast deigned to offer us through thy Gospel; may we trust in that Mediator whom thou hast given us; may we never hesitate to fly to thee, to call upon thee as our Father, and having been renewed by thy Spirit, may we walk in true humility and modesty, till at length thou shalt raise us to that heavenly kingdom which has been obtained for us by the blood of thine only-begotten Son. Amen.
