Eric Milner-White: Prayer of Confession

+

O God our Father,
help us to nail to the cross of thy dear Son
the whole body of our death,
the wrong desires of the heart,
the sinful devisings of the mind,
the corrupt apprehensions of the eyes,
the cruel words of the tongue,
the ill employment of hands and feet;
that the old man being crucified and done away,
the new man may live and grow into the glorious likeness
of the same thy son Jesus Christ,
who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Ghost,
one God, world without end.

Amen.

The Very Revd Eric Milner-White, OGS
