Almighty God, we come to make confession (StF 419)
- Source:
- Singing the Faith: 419 (CD17 #21)
- Verses:
- 4
- STF Number:
- 419
Correction to music: Correct metre to "11 10 11 10"
When sung to the set tune "Finlandia", the last two lines of each verse should be repeated. Alternatively, omit the music from bars 9 – 17.
Ideas for use
Hymns can work well as sung prayers in their own right. This is a good example.
Alternatively, as a spoken prayer: have a worship leader read verses 1 and 4 (on behalf of “we” in the first line of each verse) while the members of the congregation read the second and third verses with their more personal “I” first lines.
