Hymn: Sing LSB 450:2
What Thou, my Lord, hast suffered,
Was all for sinners’ gain;
Mine, mine was the transgression,
But Thine the deadly pain,
Lo, here I fall, my Savior!
‘Tis I deserve Thy place;
Look on me with Thy favor
And grant to me Thy grace.
Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for suffering and dying on the cross to take away my sins. In Your name we pray, Amen.
