Joyful, joyful we adore Thee, God of glory

Prayer of Adoration

Joyful, joyful we adore Thee, God of glory, Lord of love –
Holy and wonderful are You:
Your grace is without measure,
and Your purpose sure and true;
Your power is unequaled
and You are sovereign and mysterious in all Your ways.
We thank You for the gift of this today, a new day;
a day when Your mercies are fresh, untainted and new,
and Your faithfulness again clearly visible.

Prayer of Confession

Yet, how often we spoil new days!
We repeat old patterns rather than live free.
We hold on to old hurts…
