Order of Service: - Prelude - Hymn 527 - in the Midst of Earthly Life: vv. 1 & 3 - Responsive reading: P: Man who is born of woman C: Is of few days and full of trouble. P: For dust you are, C: And to dust you shall return. P: He comes forth like a flower and fades away; C: He flees like a shadow and does not continue. P: In the sweat of your face you shall eat bread Till you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken; For dust you are, C: And to dust you shall return. P: For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. C: For dust you are, and to dust you shall return. P: We have been consumed by Your anger, C: And by Your wrath we are terrified. P: You have set our iniquities before You, C: Our secret sins in the light of Your countenance. P: For all our days have passed away in Your wrath; we finish our years like a sigh. C: For dust you are, and to dust you shall return. P: Teach us, O Lord, to number our days, C: That we may gain a heart of wisdom. P: Let us pray. Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the living God, we humbly beseech You to set Your Passion, Cross and Death between Your judgment and our souls, now, and in the hour of death. C: Give us mercy and grace, and grant Your Church concord and peace, that at length we shall enjoy everlasting life and glory; for with the Father and Holy Spirit You reign, one God, now and forever. Amen. - Psalmody: Psalm 51: 2, 3 Wash Me Thoroughly S. S. Wesley: Wash me throughly from my wickedness, and forgive me all my sin. For I acknowledge my faults and my sin is ever before me. - Matthew 26: 1-16: Now it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these sayings, that He said to His disciples, “You know that after two days is the Passover, and the Son of Man will be delivered up to be crucified.” Then the chief priests, [a]the scribes, and the elders of the people assembled at the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas, and plotted to take Jesus by [b]trickery and kill Him. But they said, “Not during the feast, lest there be an uproar among the people.” And when Jesus was in Bethany at the house of Simon the leper, a woman came to Him having an alabaster flask of very costly fragrant oil, and she poured it on His head as He sat at the table. But when His disciples saw it, they were indignant, saying, “Why this waste? For this fragrant oil might have been sold for much and given to the poor.” But when Jesus was aware of it, He said to them, “Why do you trouble the woman? For she has done a good work for Me. For you have the poor with you always, but Me you do not have always. For in pouring this fragrant oil on My body, she did it for My burial. Assuredly, I say to you, wherever this gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be told as a memorial to her.” Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests and said, “What are you willing to give me if I deliver Him to you?” And they counted out to him thirty pieces of silver. So from that time he sought opportunity to betray Him. - Hymn 272 - O Sinner, Come Thy Sin To Mourn - Psalm 32: 1-5: Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, Whose sin is covered. 2 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord does not [b]impute iniquity, And in whose spirit there is no deceit. 3 When I kept silent, my bones grew old Through my groaning all the day long. 4 For day and night Your hand was heavy upon me; My vitality was turned into the drought of summer. Selah 5 I acknowledged my sin to You, And my iniquity I have not hidden. I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,” And You forgave the iniquity of my sin.
