to His heavenly
throne of grace   Praise the LORD! Great are the works of the LORD, studied by all who delight
                  in them. Full of splendor and majesty is his work, and his righteousness
                  endures forever. He has caused his wondrous works to be remembered; the
                  LORD is gracious and merciful. He provides food for those who fear him; he
                  remembers his covenant forever!
                     Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; our God is merciful! The LORD
                     preserves the simple; when I was brought low, he saved me….What shall I
                     render to the LORD for all his benefits to me? I will lift up the cup of
                     salvation and call on the name of the LORD, I will pay my vows to the LORD
                     in the presence of all his people!

God cleanses us
and renews us     CONFESSION OF SIN
 in His grace
                  Heavenly Father, God of all patience and grace, we praise you for our
                  demerited blessings and life in Jesus Christ. We were outcasts, slaves, and
                  rebels. But your cross has brought us near, made us your children, admitted us
                  into your family, and made us joint-heirs with Christ. But we so often fail to
                  live up to our new heritage. We are too often short-sighted, self-willed,
                  impulsive, lacking empathy, and chafing under your discipline. But your
                  sacrificed and risen Son is our refuge; his waters cleanse our consciences; his
                  broken bread fills our hunger; his cup poured out causes ours to overflow. May
                  we increasingly entrust ourselves to your Fatherly care and instruction in
                  renewed devotion for the glory of your name, good of your people, and success
                  of your mission. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

                              From there he will come to judge the living and the dead.
