Corporate Confession of Sin

Adapted from the 1585 Reformed Liturgy of the Palatinate:

I, a poor sinner, acknowledge before you, my God and Creator, that I have terribly and in more ways sinned against you, not only outwardly, but much more with inward blindness, unbelief, doubts, despondency, impatience, pride, covetousness, envy, hatred, malice and other sinful affections, as you, my Lord and God, know well, and I cannot deeply enough deplore.  But I repent of these things, and am sorry for them, and heartily ask you for mercy, for the sake of your beloved Son Jesus Christ.  Amen.
