Lyrics
An Evening Prayer
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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 for-give
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 for-give
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 for-give
Forgive these sins I have confessed to Thee
Forgive the secret sins I do not see
Guide me love me and my keeper be
Dear Lord for-give
