Author: L. B. F. Hymnal: The Silver Chime #64 (1862) Lyrics: 1 O forgive and forget
All the wrongs thou hast met
At the hand of thy brother below;
Those are happiest, far,
Whom revenge doth not mar
With its spirit of evil and woe.
2 If thy brother offends,
Never making amends,
Never seeking forgiveness for wrong;
If the trespass be seven,
Or if seventy times seven,
To avenge doth to Heaven belong.
3 O forgive and forget
Let the sun never set
On thy wrath in its ragings of fire;
When thou layest thy head
At the night on thy bed,
Put away far the demon of ire. Tune Title: [O forgive and forget]
O Forgive and Forget
