If I’ve Wounded The Heart Of Another Today,
Or Have Caused A Lone Teardrop To Fall;
If I’ve Turned In Disdain From The Helpless Away,
Oh! Forgive, Thou Blest Father Of All!
I Am Bowing Before Thee In Penitence Now,
O Compassionate Father, Forgive!
Thou Alone With Thy Peace Can My Spirit Endow,
O Compassionate Father, Forgive!
My Transgressions Are Many, I Humbly Confess,
But I Long In Thy Precepts To Live;
With The Boon Of Salvation Thou Only Can Bless,
O Compassionate Father, Forgive!
If, When Merciless Sorrow Over Shadows My Soul,
I Have Sought Not Thy Guidance Each Day,
But In Folly Have Strayed Where Sin’s Billows Oft Roll,
Oh! Forgive Me, Dear Father, I Pray!
Tho’ I Oft Have Neglected My Duty To Do,
Disobeying Thy Holy Command,
And To Thee And Thy Cause I Have Proven Untrue,
With The Saved I Forgiven Would Stand.
