*GLORIA PATRI (#735)
THE LAW OF GOD – The 2nd Great
Commandment [Mt 22:39]
CONFESSION OF SIN [Based upon
The Book of Common Worship, second order] Almighty and most merciful
Father; We have erred and strayed from Your ways like lost sheep. We
have followed too much the devices and desires of our own hearts. We
have offended against Your holy laws. We have left undone those
things which we ought to have done; And we have done those things
which we ought not to have done; And there is no health in us. O
Lord, have mercy upon us, miserable offenders. Spare those, O God,
who confess their sins. Restore those who are penitent; According to
Your promises declared to us in Christ Jesus our Lord. And grant, O
most merciful Father, for His sake; That we may hereafter live a
godly, righteous, and sober life; To the glory of Your holy name.
Amen.
DECLARATION OF PARDON [1 John
1:9] If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us
our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

*CONFESSION OF FAITH The
Nicene Creed
We believe in one God, the Father
Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and
invisible.
And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the
only-begotten Son of God, begotten of his Father before all worlds,
God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God, begotten, not made,
being of one substance with the Father; by whom all things were made;
who for us and for our salvation came down from heaven, and was
incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the virgin Mary, and was made man;
and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate; he suffered and
was buried; and the third day he rose again according to the
Scriptures, and ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand
of the Father; and he shall come again with glory to judge both the
living and the dead; whose kingdom shall have no end.
And we believe in the Holy Spirit, the
Lord and giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son; who
with the Father and the Son together is worshiped and glorified; who
spoke by the prophets; and we believe in one holy catholic and
apostolic church; we acknowledge one baptism for the remission of
sins; and we look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of
the world to come. Amen.
