M: As we seek the grace of God, let us make our confession:
All: Merciful God, you promise forgiveness and new life, making us part of the
body of Christ. We confess that we remain preoccupied with ourselves,
separated from sisters and brothers in Christ. We cling to destructive
habits, hold grudges, and show reluctance to welcome one another; we
allow the past to hold us hostage.
In your loving kindness, have mercy on us, and free us from sin.
Remind us of the promises you make so that we may rise to new life,
and live together in grace. Hear our prayer:
Silent Prayers of Confession
*ASSURANCE OF PARDON
M: In the life, death and resurrection of Christ we believe that our sins are
forgiven.
P: The mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting.
M:This is the good news given to us in Christ, and in which we believe.
Alleluia! Amen.

This 18th-century text celebrating the sovereignty of Christ has been through several expansions and
contractions before reaching its present form. It is set here to the oldest American hymn tune in continuous
use since first published in 1793, which was written for it.

Based on Mark 1:21–28/Luke 4:31–37, this text recalls how Jesus exorcized a demon, ponders what demons
mean today, and concludes with a prayer for wholeness. It is set here to a familiar Welsh tune whose
recurring three-note figures help to convey a sense of internal turmoil.

The crux of this text comes in the second stanza: if we dare to claim God-given abilities, we need also to
show God-like compassion for the human needs that confront us daily. The earthy shape note tune provides
a further reminder that we must not lose our heads in the clouds.

The middle stanzas of this paraphrase of Psalm 8 probe the ancient but enduring paradox of declaring the

one of the most durable 18th-century English psalm tunes.
