1 Lord, forgive me, day by day,
Debts I cannot hope to pay;
Duties I have left undone,
Evils I have failed to shun;

2 Trespasses in word or thought;
Deeds from evil motive wrought;
Cold ingratitude; distrust;
Thoughts unhallowed, or unjust.

3 Much forgiven, may I learn
Love for hatred to return;
Then assured my heart shall be
Thou, my God, hast pardoned me.
