Confession Liturgy


L: The Lord almighty grant us a quiet night and peace at the last.
C: Amen.
L: It is good to give thanks to the Lord,
C: to sing praise to your name, O Most High;
L: to herald your love in the morning,
C: your truth at the close of the day.

L: Let us confess our sin in the presence of God and of one another.
Silence for self-examination.
L: Holy and gracious God,
C: We confess that we have sinned against you this day. Some of our sin we know-the thoughts and words and deeds of which we are ashamed-but some is known only to you. In the name of Jesus Christ we ask forgiveness. Deliver and restore us, that we may rest in peace.
L: By the mercy of God we are united with Jesus Christ, and in him we are forgiven. We rest now in his peace and rise in the morning to serve him.
