Hymn of the Day
Lamb of God, pure and sinless, once on the cross an offering, patient, lowly, guiltless, forsaken in your suffering from sin’s grasp you have torn us, form gloom to hope have borne us. Grant us your mercy, O Jesus. (“Lamb of God, Pure and Sinless” – Text: Nikolaus Decius, 1485-1550; tr. Composite)

Psalm of the Day
You are pure and sinless.
Yet we placed You on a cross.
There You hung, patient, lowly, guiltless and forsaken.
Forgive us Lord for what we have done.
Forgive our sin.

From that cross, I hear Your Word.
Word of forgiveness.
Word of love.
Word of compassion.
From that cross, I hear such a sweet sound.

Prayer of the Day
Lord, You know of my sin. You know and yet still forgive. You know and yet still love. What sweet sound I hear from You. ---Amen
