Hymns:
Prayer of Confession and Assurance of Forgiveness:
Almighty God, our heavenly Father, it has always pleased you to extend grace toward your people, as rebellious as they have proven to be. You never ceased to exhort them to repentance and always led them by the hand of the prophets who brought your Word. Grant us grace today that your same Word may resound in our ears. By your Spirit subdue and so reign over our minds and affections, that being truly humbled, we give you the glory that your majesty is due, until the day we rejoice in your heavenly promise, which has been purchased for us by the blood of your only Son, our Lord Jesus Christ.
from John Calvin: Sermons on the Book of Micah
