A CHRISTMAS LITANY OF
CONFESSION
Lord god Almighty on high:
We have sinn'd in the thought of the heart,
We have sinn'd in the deeds of the hand;
'Gainst ourselves, against others, our sins
Outnumber the numberless sand:—
To Thee for pardon we cry,
Lord God Almighty on high.
We have sinn'd in the thought of the heart,
We have sinn'd in the deeds of the hand;
'Gainst ourselves, against others, our sins
Outnumber the numberless sand:—
To Thee for pardon we cry,
Lord God Almighty on high.
Lord God Almighty on high:
We have wept and repented in vain,
We have broken our promise to Thee;
Our transgressions roll in like a flood
And are more than the waves of the sea.
To Thee for pardon we cry,
Lord God Almighty on high.
We have wept and repented in vain,
We have broken our promise to Thee;
Our transgressions roll in like a flood
And are more than the waves of the sea.
To Thee for pardon we cry,
Lord God Almighty on high.
Lord God Almighty on high;
By the word of the mouth we have sinn'd;
We have sinn'd by our frown and our smile;
In our prayers, in Thy House we have sinn'd,
And Thou hast beheld us the while:
To Thee for mercy we cry,
Lord God Almighty on high.
By the word of the mouth we have sinn'd;
We have sinn'd by our frown and our smile;
In our prayers, in Thy House we have sinn'd,
And Thou hast beheld us the while:
To Thee for mercy we cry,
Lord God Almighty on high.

Lord God Almighty on high,
Thy mercy from heaven to earth
Goes forth; Thy forgiveness is free:
Thou hast open'd a refuge for man;
Thou hast taken our manhood on Thee:—
To Thee with thanksgiving we cry,
Lord God Redeemer on high!
Thy mercy from heaven to earth
Goes forth; Thy forgiveness is free:
Thou hast open'd a refuge for man;
Thou hast taken our manhood on Thee:—
To Thee with thanksgiving we cry,
Lord God Redeemer on high!
Lord God Almighty on high,
The shepherds have seen as they watch
The quire of Thine Angels above:
To all nations the song has gone out
Of Glory, of Peace, and of Love.
To Thee with thanksgiving we cry,
Lord God Redeemer on high.
The shepherds have seen as they watch
The quire of Thine Angels above:
To all nations the song has gone out
Of Glory, of Peace, and of Love.
To Thee with thanksgiving we cry,
Lord God Redeemer on high.
Lord God Almighty on high,
We come with the shepherds; we see
Her of all women most blest,
As she kneels o'er the cradle, and takes
That Holy One unto her breast;
To Him with thanksgiving we cry,
Almighty Redeemer on high!
We come with the shepherds; we see
Her of all women most blest,
As she kneels o'er the cradle, and takes
That Holy One unto her breast;
To Him with thanksgiving we cry,
Almighty Redeemer on high!
Lord God Almighty on high:
Thou hast come in our flesh; and to Thee
Our transgressions, our weakness, are known.
By Thy Birth, by Thy Life, by Thy Death,
By Thy right-hand seat on the Throne,
Eleison, Christe! we cry,
Almighty Redeemer on high.
Thou hast come in our flesh; and to Thee
Our transgressions, our weakness, are known.
By Thy Birth, by Thy Life, by Thy Death,
By Thy right-hand seat on the Throne,
Eleison, Christe! we cry,
Almighty Redeemer on high.
