191. If I Have Wounded Any Soul Today

1 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,
Oh God, forgive!

2 If I have uttered idle words or vain,
If I have turned aside from want or pain,
Lest I offend some other through the strain,
Oh God, forgive!

3 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,
Oh God, forgive!

4 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,
Oh God, forgive!
