All: To the King of the ages, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen. *THE INVOCATION & THE LORD'S PRAYER Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy Name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen. *THE HYMN OF PRAISE............................Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise PRIVATE & CORPORATE CONFESSION OF SIN O my Savior, help me. I am slow to learn, prone to forget, and weak to climb; I am in the foothills when I should be on the heights; I am pained by my graceless heart, my prayerless days, my poverty of love, my sloth in the heavenly race, my sullied conscience, my wasted hours, my unspent opportunities. I am blind while the light shines around me: take the scales from my eyes, grind to dust my heart of unbelief. Make it my highest joy to study you, meditate on you, gaze on you, sit like Mary at your feet, lean like John on your chest, appeal like Peter to your love, count like Paul all else as loss compared to knowing you. I believe, help my unbelief. Amen.
