Remind us of that love, and \n remind us of our status, that we are your children, that we \n belong to you, even when we continue to make mistakes and \n sin against your will. help us each day to return to your \n cross, and lay down our sins, our mistakes, and our failures, \n knowing that you are working in us to make us \n righteous because we are your beloved. In your son's name \n we pray, Amen. \n OPENING HYMN \"Love Divine, All Loves Excelling\" LSB #700 \n 1 Love divine, all loves excelling, Joy of heav’n, to earth come \n down! Fix in us Thy humble dwelling, All Thy faithful mercies \n crown. Jesus, Thou art all compassion, Pure, unbounded \n love Thou art; Visit us with Thy salvation, Enter ev’ry \n trembling heart. \n 2 Breathe, O breathe Thy loving Spirit Into ev’ry troubled \n breast; Let us all in Thee inherit; Let us find Thy promised \n rest. Take away the love of sinning; Alpha and Omega be; \n End of faith, as its beginning, Set our hearts at liberty. \n 3 Come, Almighty, to deliver; Let us all Thy life receive; \n Suddenly return, and never, Nevermore Thy temples leave. \n Thee we would be always blessing, Serve Thee as Thy hosts \n above, Pray and praise Thee without ceasing, Glory in Thy \n perfect love.","bbox":{"left":0.071429,"top":0.055649,"width":0.855456,"height":0.8209630000000001}}],"images_bbox":[],"images_bbox_not_text_overlap":[]}
