Almighty God, we come to make confession (StF 419)

Ellis, Christopher
Tune:
Finlandia
Composers & arrangers:
Sibelius, Jean
Elements of Worship:
Confession
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.


We have a gospel to proclaim (StF 418)
Because you came and sat beside us (StF 420)
