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!

If I have ut­tered idle words or vain

If I have turned aside from want or pain

Lest I my­self shall suf­fer through the strain

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!

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

Dear Lord

Amen.
