Author: C. Maud Battersby Hymnal: Lead Me, Guide Me (2nd ed.) #768 (2012) Meter: 10.10.10.4 First Line: If I have wounded any soul today Refrain First Line: Dear Lod, forgive! Lyrics: 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,
Dear Lord, 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,
Dear Lord, 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,
Dear Lord, 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.
