An Evening Prayer Songtext

An Evening Prayer

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 in vain
If I have turned aside from want or pain
Lest I offend some other through the strain
Dear Lord, forgive.

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 these sins I have confessed to Thee
Forgive the secret sins I do not see
Guide me, love and my keeper be
Dear Lord, forgive.
