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, Amen.
