If I have wounded any soul today
If I have caused one foot to go astray
If I have walked in my own wilful way
Dear Lord, forgive.

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.

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.

This is a Christian hymn. I am not a Christian, but the melody and the lyrics make me calm and humble. The hymn gives me strength to turn from others' wrongdoing to my own weaknesses.
