Lord, to Thee I make confession
Author: J. Franck Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #497 (1913) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8 Topics: Confession of Sin Lyrics: 1 Lord, to Thee I make confession,
I have sinned and gone astray,
I have multiplied transgression,
Chosen for myself my way:
Forced at last to see my errors,
Lord, I tremble at Thy terrors.
2 But from Thee how can I hide me,
Thou, O God, art everywhere;
Refuge from Thee is denied me,
Or by land or sea or air;
Nor death's darkness can enfold me,
So that thou shouldst not behold me.
3 Yet, though conscience' voice appall me,
Father, I will seek Thy face;
Though Thy child I scarce dare call me,
Yet restore me to Thy grace;
Do not for my sins forsake me;
Do not let Thy wrath o'ertake me;
4 For Thy Son hath suffered for me,
And the blood He shed for sin,
That can heal me and restore me,
Quench this burning fire within;
'Tis alone His cross can vanquish
These dark fears and soothe this anguish.
5 Then on Him I cast my burden,
Sink it in the depths below!
Let me know Thy gracious pardon,
Wash me, make me white as snow.
Let Thy Spirit leave me never,
Make me only thine forever! Tune Title: [Lord, to Thee I make confession]

Thy righteous law approves it well.

Praise and Confession
Hymnal: The Psalter #290 (1912) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Sin Confession of First Line: Praise ye the Lord, for He is good Lyrics: 1 Praise ye the Lord, for He is good;
Give thanks and bless His Name;
His loving-kindness changes not,
From age to age the same.
2 What tongue can tell His mighty deeds,
His wondrous works and ways?
O who can show His glory forth,
Or utter all His praise?
3 The Lord will bless and prosper those,
Yea, blest indeed are they,
Whose ways are just, who constantly
His righteous law obey.
4 O Lord, remember me in grace,
Let me salvation see;
The grace Thou showest to Thy saints,
That grace reveal to me.
5 Let me behold Thy people's good
And in their joy rejoice;
With Thy triumphant heritage
Let me lift up my voice.
6 In evil we have gone astray,
And sinful is our race;
Rebelliously our fathers walked,
Forgetful of Thy grace.
7 Though they rebelled, yet for their help
In saving strength he came
To make His power almighty known
And glorify His Name.
8 He brought them safely through the sea
And overwhelmed their foes;
Their faith was stirred, and for the time
Their songs of praise arose.
9 Forgetful soon, they tempted God,
Nor for His counsel cared;
He sent them leanness in their souls,
Whilst they earth's bounties shared.
10 With envy they regarded those
Whom God to them had sent;
The opening earth, the kindling flame,
Brought awful punishment.
11 A golden image they adored,
And worshiped at its shrine;
Thus they despised the living God
And scorned His love divine.

Lord, we confess our numerous faults
Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #318 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Confession of Sin Lyrics: 1 Lord, we confess our numerous faults,
How great our guilt has been:
Foolish and vain were all our thoughts,
And all our lives were sin.
2 But, O my soul, forever praise,
Forever love His Name,
Who turns thy feet from dangerous ways
Of folly, sin, and shame.
3 ’Tis not by works of righteousness
Which our own hands have done;
But we are saved by sovereign grace
Abounding through His Son.
4 ’Tis through the purchase of His death
Who hung upon the tree,
The Spirit is sent down to breathe
On such dry bones as we.
5 Raised from the dead we live anew;
And justified by grace,
We shall appear in glory too,
And see our Father’s face. Languages: English

And from the guilty Bondage free,
He feels his Soul enlarg'd.
3 His Spirit hates Deceit and Lies,
His Words are all sincere;
He guards his Heart, he guards his Eyes,
To keep his Conscience clear.

No Quiet could I find;
Thy Wrath lay burning in my Breast,
And rack'd my tortur'd Mind.
5 Then I confess'd my troubled Thoughts,
My secret Sins revealed;
Thy pard'ning Grace forgave my Faults,
Thy Grace my Pardon seal'd.

When like a raging Flood
Temptations rise, our Strength and Stay
Is a forgiving GOD. Scripture: Psalm 32 Languages: English
