John Hill Lord Jesus Christ, son of the living God, have mercy on us for we are sinners. We say that we love you, even though we have not seen you, but we have failed to love those who walk beside us every day.

Closing Hymn: Forgive Our Sins As We Forgive Forgive Our Sins As We Forgive Verse 1 “Forgive our sins as we forgive,” you taught us, Lord, to pray; but you alone can grant us grace to live the words we say. Verse 2 How can your pardon reach and bless the unforgiving heart that broods on wrongs and will not let old bitterness depart? Verse 3 In blazing light your cross reveals the truth we dimly knew: what trivial debts are owed to us, how great our debt to you! Verse 4 Lord, cleanse the depths within our souls, and bid resentment cease; then, bound to all in bonds of love, our lives will spread your peace. Benediction: Rev. John Hill |
