Service of Morning Prayer (AAPB p.18)

Thus says the Lord. There is no other God besides me. A righteous God and Saviour, turn to me and be saved, all the ends of the earth, Isaiah 45:21,22

Exhortation

…….
Therefore, let us draw near to the throne of our gracious God, and say together:

Confession

Almighty and most merciful Father,
we have strayed from your ways like lost sheep.
We have left undone what we ought to have done,
and we have done what we ought not to have done.
We have followed our own ways
and the desires of our own hearts.
We have broken your holy laws.
Yet, good Lord, have mercy on us;
restore those who are penitent,
according to your promises
declared to mankind in Jesus Christ our Lord.
And grant, merciful Father, for his sake,
that we may live a godly and obedient life,
to the glory of your holy name. Amen.

Absolution

Open our lips, O Lord;

And we shall declare your praise.

O God, make speed to save us.

O Lord, make haste to help us.

Glory to God; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,

as in the beginning, so now, and for ever. Amen.

Let us praise the Lord.

The Lord`s name be praised.

Sermon

Creed

I believe in God, the Father Almighty,
maker of heaven and earth;
and in Jesus Christ, his only Son our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, dead, and buried. He descended into hell.
The third day he rose again from the dead.
He ascended into heaven,
and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty;
from there he shall come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit;
the holy catholic church;
the communion of saints;
the forgiveness of sins;
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting. Amen.

The Lord be with you

And also with you

Let us pray.

Lord, have mercy on us.

Christ, have mercy on us.

Lord, have mercy on us.

Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your Name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done
on earth as in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins
as we forgive those who sin against us.
Lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours
now and for ever. Amen.

Lord Show us your mercy

and grant us your salvation.

Lord, save the Queen,
Clothe your ministers with righteousness,

and make your chosen people joyful.

Lord, save your people,

and bless your inheritance.

Give peace in our time, O Lord,

for you are our help and strength.

Create in us clean hearts, O God,

and renew us by your Holy Spirit.
