This well-known melody was created to provide a choral setting for J. C. F. von Schiller’s poem, “An die
Freude” (To Joy), as the final movement of the composer’s Ninth Symphony. The author, a prominent
Presbyterian pastor and author, wrote the words with this tune in mind.

MUSIC: Ludwig van Beethoven, 1824; adapt. Edward Hodges, 1842, alt. 8.7.8.7.DCall to Confession and Prayer of Confession (unison)
Merciful God, we confess that we have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, by what we have done,
and by what we have left undone. We have not loved you with our whole hearts; we have not loved our neigh-
bors as ourselves. In your mercy, forgive what we have been, amend what we are, and direct what we shall be,
that we may delight in your will and walk in your ways, to the glory of your holy name.
Silent Prayers of Confession Worshippers seek and reflect on God’s forgiveness in their own lives.
Assurance of God’s Forgiveness
One: Anyone who is in Christ is a new creation. The old life has gone; a new life has begun. Friends, hear
the good news:
All: In Jesus Christ we are forgiven. Alleluia! Amen.

Passing of the Peace
Since the earliest days of the Christian Church, worshippers have greeted each other with a sign of peace.
All are invited to offer a verbal greeting, such as: “Peace be with you.”
One: The peace of Christ be with you.
All: And also with you.
