If I have wounded some poor 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 in vain
If I have turned aside from want or pain
Lest I offend some other through the strain
Dear Lord, forgive
Forgive these sins I have confessed to Thee
Forgive the secret sins I do see
And guide me, love me and my keeper be
Dear Lord, forgive
Dear Lord, forgive
