1 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. (forgive)
2 If I have uttered idle words or vain,
if I have turned aside from want or pain,
lest I offend some other through the strain;
Dear Lord, forgive. (forgive)
3 If I have been perverse, or hard, or cold,
if I have longed for shelter in the fold,
when Thou hast given me some fort to hold;
Dear Lord, forgive. (forgive)
4 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. (Amen)
