INTRODUCTORY SENTENCES

FOR

EVENING PRAYER.

GENERAL CONFESSION.

(By the Minister and Congregation together.)

If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us;

If we confess our sins, God is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

I will arise and go to my Father, and say unto him, Father, I have sinned

Against Heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.

For the good that I would, I do not; but the evil which I would not, that I do.

God be merciful to me a sinner.

Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.

Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.

Speak the word only, and thy servant shall be healed.
