Confession: The Feast of Jehovah

The Feast of Jehovah

Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless His holy Name. Lord stir up Thy people to praise Thee this day. At this halting-place of our pilgrimage, may we keep the day with song. Ordain the day of feasting for Thy people. Come Thyself to the feast; then shall our hearts be exceeding glad, and we will sing our Hallels unto Jehovah, the ever-blessed Jah, the Lord God of Israel. O Father, in Thy presence, though we feel ourselves at peace with Thee, we cannot but lament the many times in which we have offended Thee, nor can we cease to mourn that even now we come far short of what we owe Thee. Purge us. O Lord, purge us with hyssop and we shall be clean; wash us and we shall be whiter than snow. We confess our transgressions, and our iniquity we would not hide; but we look again to the great Sacrifice. Our eyes are on the Lamb that was slain, the Lamb of God that taketh away the sin of the world. Thou knowest, Father, that all our hope is here, and this is our joy, that though we walk in the light, as God is in the light, and have fellowship with Thee, yet still for every offence that comes, the blood of Jesus Christ Thy Son cleanseth us from all sin. Amen
