A Prayer for the Lord’s Day, May 3 (based on Psalm 51)

FATHER OF ALL MERCIES, who delightest not in the death of a sinner, have compassion upon us, and wash us from all our sins that we have committed against thy holy Majesty since the time we first came into this world. Create in us a clean heart, and strengthen us continually with the power of thy Holy Sprit, that we, being truly consecrated to thy service, may set forth thy praises, through Jesus Christ, our Savior. AMEN.
