Lyrics

If I have wounded any soul today,
If I have caused one foot to go astray,
If I have walked in my own willful way,
Dear Lord, forgive!
If I have uttered idle words or vain,
If I have turned aside from want or pain,
Lest I myself shall suffer through the strain,
Dear Lord, forgive!
If I have been perverse or hard, or cold,
If I have longed for shelter in
Thy fold,When
Thou hast given me some fort to hold,
Dear Lord, forgive!
Forgive the sins
I have confessed to
Thee;Forgive the secret sins
I do not see;
O guide me, love me and my keeper be,
Dear Lord, forgive!
