An evening prayer

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, Dear Lord, forgive.

If I have uttered idle words or vain,
If I have turned aside from want or pain,
Lest I myself shall suffer thru the strain,
Dear Lord, forgive, 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, Dear Lord, forgive.

Forgive the sins I have confessed to Thee,
Forgive the secret sins I do not see.
Oh guide, me love, and my keeper be.
Dear Lord, Amen, Dear Lord, Amen.
