Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth!
Serve the Lord with gladness!
Come into his presence with singing!
Know that the Lord, he is God!
It is he who made us, and we are his;
we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
Enter his gates with thanksgiving,
and his courts with praise!
Give thanks to him; bless his name!
For the Lord is good;
his steadfast love endures forever,
and his faithfulness to all generations.

CORPORATE CONFESSION OF SIN
Rev. John Divito
All: Grant, almighty God, that your will would be done on earth as it is done in heaven. You have given us your holy demands through your gracious acts, and we, as your Redeemed people, desire to obey them with our whole heart, soul, mind, and strength. Yet, we fall short of all that you command due to indwelling sin. We are ashamed at how easily we stray from your law. We are creatures of dust and unprofitable servants. Yet, in Christ alone, we have hope because he has obeyed you in thought, word, and deed on our behalf. Please forgive us, Father, and be pleased to cleanse us, washing us in the blood of your beloved Son in whose name we pray. Amen.
